By the way, please don't mistake our initial pushback against your
ideas today for pushback against *you* working towards contributing.
I would be delighted if you want to poke around the code and suggest
some patches. Feel free, even, to prove me wrong about the quoting
idea; perhaps there is something inbetween worth considering.
Your point about $tmpdir being an arbitrary path which needs to work is
telling, and I hadn't realised its implications. Needs thought.
Were it a simple filename it would all be easy. Maybe a chdir(tmpdir)
before running the shell command with a simple filename?
Anyway, I'll think about ways to make this kind of thing robust.
