Hello Reed,
RW> Versions: crgwin dll 1.5.5 and perl 5.8.2-5
RW> When executing system() commands in perl, the system fails to handle
RW> escaped quotes properly. For example, the following is not parsed
RW> properly:
RW> system("rsync ... --rsh=\"ssh -l blah\" ... ")
RW> ... Reed
Does it work when setting:
$var = "rsync ... --rsh=\"ssh -l blah\" ...";
system($var); # or system("$var")
?
