in thread exec always invokes the shell? win32
You are seeing the "$" before the 1/2 due to a timing issue
That has nothing to do with the question. Pay attention to the quotes.
I am passing exec a list. At what point does "1 2" turn into "1" "2"? Perl does not split arguments on whitespace, that is something cmd.exe does.
