Re: Perl and Shell (Delimiter)

[LanX]

without trying it out, this looks plain wrong

 $result = '';

because it breaks your evaled string delimiter

perl -e ' ...

maybe try

  $result = q();

instead.

q/STRING/ is an alternative syntax for '' , see perlop#Quote-and-Quote-like-Operators for details

update

PS: please note that bash has here-docs too, maybe a more flexible way to safely integrate literal Perl code.
