Sorry for the lack of action on this. I can't reproduce this; with Text-ParseWords 3.2 that shipped with perl 5.6.1: % perl -Ilib -MText::ParseWords -le "my @a = shellwords(qq(echo 'ab \' c')); print scalar @a" 0 % perl -Ilib -MText::ParseWords -le "my @a = shellwords(qq(echo 'ab c')); print scalar @a" 2 which IMO shows that the backslash-escaped single quote char in the first example made the parsing fail. I think this is the expected behaviour. This is also the case with current Text-ParseWords versions. Please let me know if I can close this bug.
