in thread output of one program doesn't show in another on server

 qx// `` (backticks) is double-quotish-interpolating, so  \usr\bin\perl is really:

>perl -wMstrict -le
"print qq{'\usr\bin\perl'};
"
Unrecognized escape \p passed through at -e line 1.
'Sinperl'

(Were you using warn-ings?)

Update: Oops... Fixed example code to include initial backslash. (And always, always avoid Sinperl!)

Thanks very much for your reply. Forgive me but I don't fully understand your answer though. Should I trying using qx instead of backticks?
