Bug #122949 for PAR-Packer: PAR-Packer-1.37 executables split arguments containing whitespace

Sun Sep 03 15:13:11 2017 APG [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

PAR-Packer-1.37 executables split arguments containing whitespace

Windows executables built with pp 1.37 split any arguments containing whitespace. The bug can be seen with a one-line script: print join(':', @ARGV) Packed with pp 1.36, `a.exe "foo bar"` prints "foo bar". Packed with pp 1.37, `a.exe "foo bar"` prints "foo:bar". Encountered on Windows 7 under Strawberry perl 5.24 and 5.26.

Then we need to quote the strings passed to spawnvp()... Can you check with GitHub master? Cheers, Roderich

Sorry for the long delay. Tested with commit a076d4c4d5004e395dc8311d4e4729a975e815a2 and it appears to be working. Thanks.
