That design requires advance knowledge of the script (to change $1 to the parameter). I don't know if that's a problem.

The implementation fails if $param contains two spaces in a row, a quote, etc due to improper encoding of strings. Fix:

sub to_sh_lit { my ($s) = @_; die if !utf8::downgrade($s, 1); # Expecting bytes. die if $s =~ /\x00/; # NUL can't be passed. $s =~ s/('+)/'"$1"'/g; return "'$s'"; } my $lit_param = to_sh_lit($param); print SH "echo $lit_param\n";

Update: Added code.
