I played around with this bug a little bit, when you feed a list to win32 system, each scalar is double quoted. I couldn't cause any additional execution through using "&"s. system('echo', ' & echo JAPH'); becomes echo " & echo JAPH" which fails,so it is retried to CreateProcess as cmd.exe /x/d/c "echo " & echo JAPH"" yes those 2 double quotes look funny. The result printed to console is ______________________________________________ " & echo JAPH" C:\p517\perl> _______________________________________________ running manually on command line shows double execution ______________________________________________ C:\p517\perl>echo & echo JAPH ECHO is on.
