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?

    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"
      ?
