 CPAN::HandleConfig - internal configuration handling for CPAN.pm

“"CCLLAASSSS-->>ssaaffee__qquuoottee IITTEEMM"” Quotes an item to become safe against spaces in shell interpolation. An item is enclosed in double quotes if:

   - the item contains spaces in the middle
   - the item does not start with a quote

 This happens to avoid shell interpolation problems when whitespace is
 present in directory names.

 This method uses "commands_quote" to determine the correct quote. If
 "commands_quote" is a space, no quoting will take place.

 if it starts and ends with the same quote character: leave it as it is

 if it contains no whitespace: leave it as it is

 if it contains whitespace, then

 if it contains quotes: better leave it as it is

 else: quote it with the correct quote type for the box we're on
