call system command

[Tatiana Lloret Iglesias]

Hi all,

I have to execute this command from perl:

my $status = system("d:\\blast\\bin\\blastall -p blastn -i $file -d $patDB
-o $workdir\\blast_$blast_file_id.txt");


but the problem is that $workdir contains spaces .... how can I make it
work?

Thanks!
Regards
