Here's an example of a filename and it's quoted version that I don't think are handled correctly: ** /home/jdc/Dropbox/English Faculty/monkhtsetseg/student's book (English -3).docx '/home/jdc/Dropbox/English Faculty/monkhtsetseg/student'\''s book (English -3).docx From print "$file\n"; print shell_quote($file),"\n"; I hate apostrophes...even more than spaces in file names.

The shell_quote output appears correct to me (assuming you just mis-pasted the final single quote, which my String::ShellQuote (1.04) includes). It's two single quoted strings with an escaped single quote in the middle. bash-style shell quoting will mush them all together: tom@whaam ~ $ perl -E 'say "<$_>" for @ARGV' '/home/jdc/Dropbox/English Faculty/monkhtsetseg/student'\''s book (English-3).docx' </home/jdc/Dropbox/English Faculty/monkhtsetseg/student's book (English-3).docx> It's similar to this quoting trick which doesn't use the backslash-singlequote, but switches to double quotes instead: tom@whaam ~ $ echo 'bash'"'"'s quoting is weird' bash's quoting is weird
