Question

How can I use path with spaces in a perl script, running Archive commend?

Saying this is the command with the path I need:

C:\\"Program Files"\\7-Zip\\7z.exe a d:\\views\\"My views" d:\\"Public view"

Someone has an idea?

Although it isn’t a Perl question, you can use this syntax

"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a target.zip "c:\path with spaces\example.pdf"

And if you need to call from a perl script

$cmd = q!"C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a target.zip "c:\path with spaces\example.pdf"!;
system $cmd;
