The trouble here is that you don't get shell interpolation for the stuff 
after the equals:

  perl -e 'print join(" ", @ARGV), "\n"' -- --foo=~ --foo ~

Is there a good, secure, reliable, cross-platform way to do shell 
expansion within Perl?   Otherwise it seems like a source of confusion 
(not good since the point of this module is to avoid those.)
