perl backticks: use bash instead of sh

Question

I noticed that when I use backticks in perl the commands are executed using sh, not bash, giving me some problems.

How can I change that behavior so perl will use ba

Answer 1

Try

`bash -c \"your command with args\"`

I am fairly sure the argument of -c is interpreted the way bash interprets its command line. The trick is to protect it from sh - that's what quotes are for.
