I'm not convinced that you are correct: perl -e '$foo="tada;";print "$foo\n"' Your answer has nothing to do with the | (pipe) causing the error. Whether there is a table to describe or not, does not take away the fact that you can have as many semi-colons inside quotes as you like, Perl will not mind. [EDIT] suekawar, maybe your problem stems from a lack of documentation. I found nowhere on PerlMonks or Perldoc.com that explains how qx works in any simple terms. Try reading http://www.perldoc.com/perl5.8.0/pod/perlop.html#Quote-and-Quote-like-Operators. VSarkiss, I was trying to put across that for someone confused between system, qq and qx your answer might not be so clear. <a href="http://www.graq.co.uk">Graq</a>
