in reply to system vs backticks

It seems that I'm becoming an advocate for [id://merlyn] articles, but hey.. it's well written, easy to understand, and it gives a good introduction to this very topic - so check this out :)

    I agree that merlyn's article is well-written and is easy to understand. However that article doesn't seem (at least to a low-flying monk) to address the OP's question, which is about the passing of environmental variables by  system and by backticks. I therefore support Errto's request for code from the OP, as I would like to learn about this.
