This distribution contains the String::ShellQuote module, plus a command-line interface to it. It contains some functions which are useful for quoting strings which are going to pass through the shell or a shell-like object. It is useful for doing robust tool programming, particularly when dealing with files whose names contain white space or shell globbing characters. To build it, run: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install For more detailed instructions see "man perlmodinstall", "perldoc perlmodinstall", or http://www.cpan.org/modules/INSTALL.html. The documentation is embeded in the module, use perldoc ShellQuote.pm to read it before installation. Roderick Schertler Copyright (c) 1997 Roderick Schertler. All rights reserved.
