I believe that IPC::Open3 is suppose to bypass the windows shell -- IIRC it uses system( 1, @_ ), which I'm not clear on how that works on Win32.
And I understand about the use of quotes on windows shell -- what's weird is the quotes are not needed to protect spaces in parameters (hint that it's avoiding the shell in that case), but if you use double quote within the parameter then the individual words *are* split into multiple parameters -- as if the shell *is* used in that case.
The issue here is passing user data from one program to another -- and avoiding the risks of the data passing through the shell.

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).
