+\r
+Well, one have to expect the execution to happen one way or another\r
+(and arrange quoting accordingly); for example:\r
+\r
+$ echo; perl -e 'exec q/echo "foobar"/'\r
+\r
+foobar\r
+\r
+vs.\r
+\r
+$ echo; perl -e 'exec qw/echo "foobar"/'\r
+\r
+"foobar"\r
+\r
+first gave exec one arg, 'echo "foobar"' and due to "":s perl used sh\r
+to execute it, second gave exec list [ 'echo', '"foobar"' ] and therefore\r
+echo got foobar with quotes as a command line argument.\r
+\r
+Anyone interested for more information, see 'perldoc -f exec'.\r
+\r

+\r
+Yes, the message is the same, just that there should not be need for that..\r
