-Subject: [PATCH] Fish: fix perl ls helper
-
-With #3599 I introduce a perl warning in fish_list_perl()
-so fish_list_perl() was skipped (return code 255) and fallback ls
-function was used instead.
-
-Plus all % chars must quoted because of g_strconcat() after reading
-script file into string.
-
-Fix it!
