1This distribution contains the String::ShellQuote module, plus a command-line
2interface to it.  It contains some functions which are useful for quoting
3strings which are going to pass through the shell or a shell-like object.  It
4is useful for doing robust tool programming, particularly when dealing with
5files whose names contain white space or shell globbing characters.
