Personally I'd hold such a filename in a flat text file and avoid unix Shell interpreting the filename by using "cat" instead of "echo" or whatever is appropriate to your process.
Beware with the bckslash approach that it will behave differently from within a Shell script compared with the command line. Always test from a Shell script.

NAME
CPANPLUS::Shell::Default::Plugins::Source - read in CPANPLUS commands
SYNOPSIS
CPAN Terminal> /source /tmp/list_of_commands /tmp/more_commands
DESCRIPTION
This is a "CPANPLUS::Shell::Default" plugin that works just like your unix shells source(1) command; it reads in a file that has commands
in it to execute, and then executes them.
A sample file might look like this:
# first, update all the source files
x --update_source
# find all of my modules that are on the CPAN
# test them, and store the error log
a ^KANE$'
t *
p /home/kane/cpan-autotest/log
# and inform us we're good to go
! print "Autotest complete, log stored; please enter your commands!"
Note how empty lines, and lines starting with a '#' are being skipped in the execution.
