Hello Reed,

RW> Versions: crgwin dll 1.5.5 and perl 5.8.2-5

RW> When executing system() commands in perl, the system fails to handle 
RW> escaped quotes properly.  For example, the following is not parsed 
RW> properly:

RW>      system("rsync ... --rsh=\"ssh -l blah\" ... ")

RW> ... Reed


Does it work when setting:
$var = "rsync ... --rsh=\"ssh -l blah\" ...";
system($var); # or system("$var")

?
