Make the parameters a string and split it on space in the function.

use Data::Dumper;

my_function("hello world!");
my_function(qw/hello world/);

sub my_function
{
my $p = shift @_;
my @p;
if (scalar @_)
{
@p = ($p, @_);
}
else
{
@p = split ' ', $p;
}

print "Parameters = " . Dumper(\@p);
}

Produces:

Parameters = $VAR1 = [
'hello',
'world!'
];
Parameters = $VAR1 = [
'hello',
'world'
];

Doing it the way you suggest is unnecessary obfuscation.

Why can't you quote like a normal human being?
Whats all the "D> asdfasdf.as.sa.sa." crap.
And you inject code and comments.
None of it has dilineation from what your quoting.

The most immature crap a poster can do.
