Thank you for the hint with bash -c!

I have fixed issues with this (really ugly) code:

my @options = qw(
    
    --orientation Landscape
    --load-error-handling ignore
    --page-size A3
    --quiet
);

$config->{wkhtmltopdf_path} =~ s{ }{\\ }g;
$config->{result_filename} =~ s{ }{\\ }g;
my $command = "(" . join(" ", $config->{wkhtmltopdf_path}, @options, $
+source_file, $config->{result_filename}) . ")";
system( "/bin/bash -c \"$command\" >/dev/null 2>&1" );

A bit modified version (as soon as I need to quote some options too):

my @options = qw(
    
    --orientation Portrait
    --page-size A4
    --title "Rechnung"
    --footer-right "created by Manager  www.somesite.ch"
);

$config->{wkhtmltopdf_path} =~ s{ }{\\ }g;
$source_file =~ s{ }{\\ }g;
$config->{result_filename} =~ s{ }{\\ }g;
my $command = "(" . join(" ", $config->{wkhtmltopdf_path}, @options, $
+source_file, $config->{result_filename}) . ")";
$command =~ s/\"/\\\"/g;

system( "/bin/bash -c \"$command\" >/dev/null 2>&1" );
