Hi Chenchen,

I was able to reproduce the problem with PAR::Packer 1.037 by running 
the packed executable with environment variables TEMP and TMP set 
to a path that contains blanks, e.g.

set TEMP=C:\Users\SCHRO2~1\.cpanm\work\1536826253.8944\PAR-Packer-1.037\t m p

The test script was

pp -o foo.exe -E "use Data::Dumper; say 'ARGV = ', Dumper(\@ARGV);"

and running this in above environment produces

.\foo.exe 1 2 3
ARGV = $VAR1 = [
          'm',
          
'p\\par-536368526f32342d657874\\cache-688422ed2d95d8d78309df7ba393ecec060a8455/foo.exe',
          '1',
          '2',
          '3'
        ];


The same script packed with PAR::Packer 1.047 works correctly in this 
environment.

Cheers, Roderich
