There is now way for it to know that "a b c" is an argument.
No reason you cannot use some extended options for processing
the stuff (lotsawork) or just:
--foo='a b c';
my @foo = split /\s+/, $cmdline->{foo};

You could also use:
--foo=a --foo=b --foo=c
and get an array referent to begin with (see GO::L doc's for
handling multiples).
