Problem in adding "file name with spaces" in task

I have a small problem with adding files to a task in one of my workflows.Here the requirement is Content Generator creates a DCR and puts some Images( From TeamSite Workarea) it.We have an external task which parses the DCR, extracts the image links and add it to the task.

The last step ( Adding Images to the task ) is failing when the Image name contains Spaces.

My Code is as follows:

#######################################################
my $iwaddtask_image = "$iwhome/bin/iwaddtaskfile";
my($jobid, $taskid) = @ARGV;
my $image_name="documents/CM_Templates/AnalyticalProcedures/images/Sunflower Bkgrd.jpg";

system($iwaddtask_image, $taskid, $image_name, "Image");

#######################################################

Here Teamsite 5.5.2 Installed on Windows NT machine.
Pls suggest me how can i overcome this Issue.

Try changing:
system($iwaddtask_image, $taskid, $image_name, "Image");
To:
system($iwaddtask_image, $taskid, "$image_name", "Image");

Also - you might consider using TeamSite::WFtask (generally a better solution) - though still keep the quotes:use TeamSite::WFtask;
my($jobid, $taskid) = @ARGV;
my $task = TeamSite::WFtask->new($taskid);
die "** Invalid task id ($taskid) **" if (! $task->IsValid());
# ... retrieve image file name ($image_name) from already attached dcr
$task->AddFile("$image_name", "Image");
# ... whatever else you want to do ...
$task->CallBack(0, "Done");
exit(0);
