Re^2: Quotable Quotes

I disagree. That is why I showed the first part of the question, where I wrote "echo hello" with the quotes to a DOS shell. The DOS shell would find this command illegal, yet perl does not.

Also the second example has two identical commands. One works (without parentheses), one does not (with the (v1) in parens). If we open a DOS shell, they both work. So whatever the difference is, it is on the perl side, not in the command processor.
