No, it isn't shell quoting territory, if you'd pay attention you'd see it is all passed as one argument.

Yes it is :) you're calling perl from a shell, this makes it shell quoting territory.

That this is a bug in perl doesn't change that.

SEE ALSO doesn't mean "THE ANSWER IS" it is is an addendum

How would someone from a different shell know the quoting rules without having a place to lookup the quoting rules?

    So what anytime you call perl from the shell, you're dealing with the shell.. That doesn't mean the shell is the problem, or that it is related to the problem. And linking to a manual that details what the problem isn't, and then says what the problem /may/ be in the addendum must be the most useless suggestion ever. Take a hike.

      Yes, the logic is inescapable
