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.
