APM: Question: How to access command line before its parsed into @ARGV

[Tim Peoples]

How about:

   $cmdline = join(' ', map { (/\s/) ? "\"$_\"" : $_ } @ARGV);

The reason you're not getting the quotes in Perl is because they
aren't there; the shell has already removed them in order to parse
the command line into an array of strings.  The quotes are merely
a shell device to tell it not to separate the tokens on whitespace
and to treat the whole quoted string as one token.

I think this begs the quetion of, "Why are you wanting to recombine
your command line into a single string?"  The tokens are already
parsed for you.

Tim.
