Have you tried single quotes on the command-line?
ie
-comments='This is a comment'

That is the same as:
@ARGV = split ' ', $scriptOptions;
But without the eval(). This appears to work for your data:
$ perl -le'
$x = q/t1.pl -frwk=perl -mode=1 -args=a,b,c -comments="This is
comment 1"/;
print for $x =~ /(\S.*?\S)(?=\s+-|$)/g;
'
t1.pl
-frwk=perl
-mode=1
-args=a,b,c
-comments="This is comment 1"

Subject: stemming algotithms in perl
Message-Id: <NQu1b.174532$Oz4.45255@rwcrnsc54>
Is there an established code base for stemming in perl.
For instance, if i want to match phrases in a string,
my base phrase would be "race", but i would also want
to automatically match "races", and "racing", "raced", etc...
I thought there may be a module or ?? out there...

Apologies for posting on the wrong board but if you are interested I have solved
the problem. I used the SetEnv parameters in the httpd.conf file for Apache
which sorted me out. I tried the $ENV stuff but the perl script was failing on
compilation so it didn't work. Thanks for your help.
Cheers

Message-Id: <bi5e6n$btu$1@news.astound.net>
I know this group (comp.lang.perl, not comp.lang.perl.misc) has been dead
for a long time now, albeit my news server has always carried it, but
seemingly locally to the server since it is always empty but I can still
post to it.
I also noticed that groups.google .com carries comp.lang.perl as well as
comp.lang.perl.misc, so there seems to be the existence of this group still,
yes?
From what I heard a while back, comp.lang.perl simply changed it's name to
comp.lang.perl.misc.
What was the reason for this? Does anyone know?
I have newer understood why the name would be changed instead of just having
two groups. It probably would of lessened the amount of trouble
comp.lang.perl.misc has had in the past years, many of which seemed to lead
to the group name which was very misleading (as most groups with "misc" in
the name suggestion "miscellaneous", yet many regulars would always point
out that it wasn't, though I never actually saw an explanation of what
"misc" was suppose to stand for in this case.)
So I ask, what is the story here? The original control messages only say
that this group has taken over the original. But WHY was this name change
even done in the first place?

I believe it was to reduce traffic. Someone will undoubtedly correct me if
I'm wrong, but it wasn't just a change in name, but the splitting of clp
into .misc and .moderated.

No, .moderated appeared after the other comp.lang.perl.* groups (to
reduce the signal/noise ratio compared to what happens here:)

For a while, the moderator of news.announce.newgroups strongly preferred
that when a group split, the original group not be left behind in the same
location in the namespace tree. That is, when splitting comp.foo, instead
of ending up with something like
comp.foo
comp.foo.a
comp.foo.b
he preferred
comp.foo.a
comp.foo.b
comp.foo.misc
This was supposed to make it clearer that the a and b stuff doesn't belong
in the (renamed) original group any more. Also, it makes certain
technical aspects of configuring a news server a little bit easier. On
the other hand, it does confuse some people because some servers never get
around to removing the original group (as with comp.lang.perl on your
server), so some people opposed this policy rather strongly.
There were many heated debates in news.groups about this. Finally the
news.announce.newgroups moderator gave up and stopped insisting on
"miscification", so it's not much of an issue any more.

I knew I had something not quite right...
I'm not interested in eliciting a hudson-esque reponse, but the inference of
.misc does seem at odds with the willingness of some people to discuss
anything beyond specific code examples (and this is not meant as a critique
of the aim of the group, but simply the appropriateness of the identifier,
as the OP has suggested).
It isn't much of a stretch for me to understand why new programmers trying
to get their scripts to run in Apache (simply as an example that occurs
quite frequently), would think it perfectly reasonable to post to
comp.lang.perl.misc to ask other Perl programmers what the problem might be
(without expecting to be flamed). One would assume that Perl programmers
would probably be familiar with setting up the environment in which to run
their scripts, and be willing to help.
On the other hand, clpm is more of a code-oriented discussion group. If you
don't have a code example, or a specific code question, you're not likely to
get a warm reception. Although I make no bones about how I feel about the
way some people asking general questions get treated, I can also understand
why others feel loathe to help them.
My question is: has anyone considered a c.l.learn.perl group? (Or anything
similar?) I'm aware that learn.perl.org has mailing lists, but I suspect
that much of the unwanted posting in this group would be more quickly
diverted were posters presented the option of posting to .learn.perl or
.perl.misc when looking for a group.
And if you don't have anything constructive to add, please continue on to
some other thread... : )
