Hi, I don't get the desired behavior with ARGV. Here is an example: 

perl CJ.pl -help -m "double quote goes here" 'single quote goes here'

[download]

if I do 

my $script = join " ", $0, @ARGV;
print "$script \n "; die;

[download]

I get: 

CJ.pl -help -m doublequotegoeshere singlequotegoeshere

[download]

As you can see, not only quotes are gone, the spaces in the message is removed too! Here is the perl info I am using on Mac: 

This is perl 5, version 16, subversion 3 (v5.16.3) built for darwin-th
+read-multi-2level
