That chunk probably shouldn't be in the win32 code ;-) A: we should fix
the PERL5LIB problem and B: I don't think that kernel has the same
error message as redhat.
As for the rest, it's possible that we're just as well to do the quoting
and run system($scalar) here, but we could possibly still keep it as a
list. I think win32/win32.c implies that it does get to the win32 api
as a list, but I'm not sure.
system($^X, '-e', '"print \\"hello world!\n\\""');
So if it has ", then it has to be wrapped in ", and then any " have to
be \", but also any literal \ preceding a " needs to become \\\".
Thanks,
Eric
