in reply to system() implementation on Windows (again)

Glancing at your post, I see

my $txt = '/w sample text with some / special /w characters > xyz'; system('msg', 'username', $txt);

Is that the one that's giving you problems? That's suppose to be equivalent to

msg username "/w sample text with some / special /w characters > xyz"

Which is obviously incorrect. Does that answer your question? I gotta run without looking at your post in detail at this time.
