derekstucki has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I'm writing an email form who's content has to be passed through various Linux system calls. What are all the characters I need to escape in the string to not pose a risk in system()? The only ones I can think of are ';' and '|', but I'm sure there's more that I'm missing.
