But what if my executable is /bin/foo bar?
Is this what you mean?
my $sh = '/home/kyle/harm/spacey name.sh';
open my $sh_fh, '>', $sh
or die "Can't write '$sh': $!";
print $sh_fh 'echo "spaces are fun!"';
close $sh_fh;
chmod 0755, $sh
or die "Can't chmod '$sh': $!";
$sh =~ s/ /\\ /g;
print qq{I shall now: system( "$sh" );\n};
system( "$sh" );
__END__
I shall now: system( "/home/kyle/harm/spacey\ name.sh" );
spaces are fun!
Or are you talking about something more ambiguous?

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
