Attached a version that does indeed allow that. If you alter the table so that your debug output looks like this, hopefully that will give you a proper perl call:
DEBUG: 0 C:/tl test/2008/tlpkg/tlperl/bin/perl.exe DEBUG: 1 "C:/tl test/2008/tlpkg/tlperl/bin/perl.exe" DEBUG: 2 "c:/tl test/2008/texmf/scripts/texlive/generate-updmap.pl"
Ok, it was 1, 2, 0 (from the order) but it did work!!! Thanks a lot!
How can this be done simply in lua?
command = { a, b, c}
does put it into 1, 2, 3 I assume. Anyway, After doing that I added
command[0] = perlbin
Thanks. Will this be included in the next snapshot?
Best wishes

Something like command = { a, b, c, [0] = perlbin} will work also.

yes. Best wishes, Taco
Hi Taco, one more question ... (sorry for being so annoying) On Fr, 08 Feb 2008, Norbert Preining wrote:

I guess we have to live with the fact that the quoting has to be done
ONLY for windows, because when I do
command = { '"'..perlbin..'"', '"'..script..'"'}
command[0] = perlbin
then it works on win32, but on unix I get:
cannot find script ""...""
(mind the double quotes.
Well, I can live with it, it is just a pain ;-)
Best wishes
Norbert

That's life. In fact, it is even possible that windows will balk at the quotes too, in the case that there is _no_ space in the argument proper. I remember when all this started, Hans already said that just having a table instead of a string does not solve the portability problems. He was quite right. Best wishes, Taco

Oh yes ... portability is a bit a pain ;-)
Thanks for all your support and prompt help!
