I'm not sure how you draw that conclusion.

system is not exec; nor vice versa.
It is perfectly feasible and simple to invoke a command via system without going through the shell:
```
[0] Perl> system q[perl -wE" say for @ARGV; <STDIN>" 1 2 "1 2" "1 \"2\
+" 3"];;
1
2
1 2
1 "2" 3

```
That thread is very muddled.
The conclusions drawn do not appear to match up with the code executed.

As for Win32::ShellQuote; I've never found a need for it. I use the scalar form of system & open; quote as I would in the shell, and it just works. The problem with the list form is it does stuff to what you pass; but what it does is undocumented; thus you're always fighting 'intelligence' that isn't very.

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).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
