Re^2: system() implementation on Windows (again)

Yes, tried that. And guess what... I get arguments split (by spaces) before the executable specified in the system() call is run.

So if this is the content of my "main" perl script:

my $txt = '/w my > text >= [with] \ symbols " /wabc/def (xyz)';
system($^X, 'joined-echo.pl', $txt, 'ARG2');
[download]

...Then this is the output:

/w||my||>||text||>=||[with]||\||symbols|| /wabc/def (xyz) ARG2
[download]

As one can see, the perl called by system() does not get 2 arguments - as I would expect - but much more. Mhmm.
