Re: Parsing Windows CommandLine from Perl

You can do it that way but a really good way is to use Getopt::Long

untested

# my program
# test.pl
use strict;
use Getopt::Long;
my $Dir;
GetOptions (
    "Dir=s" => \$Dir,
);
[download]

test.pl --Dir c:/path

Using Getopt::Long is a better approach to passing args, but that doesn't answer the escaping question the OP is asking abut.	[reply]
