Re: execute shell script from perl

qx , as documented in perlop, runs /bin/sh, which might be different to your terminal shell. Most probably, the shell in which the "Here String" works is bash, but /bin/sh is dash which doesn't support it.

Also note that what follows <<< isn't a "string argument", but it gets passed to the preceding command on standard input (after some expansions).

($q=q:Sq=~/;[c](.)(.)/;chr(-||-|5+lengthSq)`"S|oS2"`map{chr |+ord

/bin/sh is dash That all depends on the OS. That appears to be true for Debian and Debian-based OSes (Ubuntu, ArchLinux, etc). On Fedora 25 /bin/sh is a symbolic link to bash. On some OSes /bin/sh is still the Bourne shell.	[reply]

On some OSes `/bin/sh` is still the Bourne shell. And that's not all. `/bin/sh` varies wildly with OS and OS version, so it should be avoided where possible. If one has to resort to using a shell (why on earth?), one should explicitly use that shell (e.g. use `/bin/bash`, `/bin/ksh` or the like) instead of hoping for the default shell.
