    Well, so much for that. It's still a shell issue though, not one of Perl. What shell are you using? And have you tried with double quotes?

    Makeshifts last the longest.

      I tried double quotes, and it's still the same.

      BTW, I'm using bash shell.

        Wow. That's a pretty strange problem... What's the output when you simply use a command line like:

        perl -le '$, = "|"; print @ARGV' foo bar\ baz 'qux quux' "scooby snack +s"
        ?
