.SH DESCRIPTION
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
This class facilitates executing Windows programs that don't use standard
command line parsing
rules <https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/cpp/cpp/main-function-command-line-args#parsing-c-command-line-arguments>.
Notable programs having nonstandard rules include \fIcmd.exe\fR, \fIcscript.exe\fR,
and Cygwin programs called from non-Cygwin programs.  IPC::Run will use the two
strings, verbatim, as the lpApplicationName and lpCommandLine arguments of
\&\fBCreateProcessA()\fR.  This furnishes unfiltered control over the child process
command line.
