Is this a bug: list-exec's behaviour on Windows does not handlespaces in arguments correctly.

Hi all,

I blogged about this a few hours ago:

http://blogs.perl.org/users/shlomi_fish/2011/12/execs-portability.html

Namely doing «exec("myprog", "foo bar");» on Windows will path "foo" and "bar"
into "myprog"'s ARGV as two individual arguments. This is as opposed to the
behaviour of exec on Linux or of "perldoc -f system" on both Windows and Linux.

So I'm asking - is this a bug?

Regards,
