Let's say that I want to use a command (e.g., md5) on a file. No problem; just use:
system("md5 $file");
Except that the file name could contain all manner of white space characters, shell wildcard characters, etc. Is there a module that deals with this sort of thing (e.g., wrapping each argument in the appropriate kinds of quoting)?
-r
P.S. This isn't strictly an OSX issue, but I see far more weird
characters in OSX file names than I ever saw in *BSD, etc.
