in thread passing parameters from shell script to perl program doesn't preserve spaces [solved]

Thanks @all for the hints.
Parameter passing from shells seems to be not as easy as I had thought.
Thus I have added another parameter to my perl program, which tells it to read the parameters from a file instead of the command line.
This works like desired and circumvents shell interpretations.

    oh! if you admit to read params from files you can find Modules as configuration files an interesting solution.

    Mixing it with xargs made it easy.
