    It was never supported and I remember some problems when configuring and building Perl in a directory with spaces in it.

    Ideally, the build process would be able to deal with whitespace in file and directory names, but at least up to 5.16 this was problematic and I haven't investigated it since.

    Update: At least Tony Cook agrees with me.
