Quotes argument lists to be used in Win32 in several different
|
||
|
|
situations.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Windows passes its arguments as a single string instead of an array as
|
||
|
|
other platforms do. In almost all cases, the standard Win32
|
||
|
|
CommandLineToArgvW function is used to parse this string. cmd.exe has
|
||
|
|
different rules for handling quoting, so extra work has to be done if it
|
||
|
|
is involved. It isn't possible to consistantly create a single string
|
||
|
|
that will be handled the same by cmd.exe and the stardard parsing rules.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Perl will try to detect if you need the shell by detecting shell
|
||
|
|
metacharacters. The routine that checks that uses different quoting
|
||
|
|
rules from both cmd.exe and the native Win32 parsing. Extra work must
|
||
|
|
therefore be done to protect against this autodetection.
