in reply to Problem using Backtick having quotes

Because the %ENV hash is not propagated to the shell that the perl backticks spawns off.. Can you just have perl call the ksh script instead?

Update: doh. i confused myself with a bad test: perl -le '$ENV{foo}="asd"; print `echo b $foo a`' (needs to be \$foo)

Maybe it's due to the behavior of the qx// operator? What about doing this instead? 
my $cmd = sprintf 'java ETicket.ETicketClient -i Ticket -n p_name  -t 
+"%s"', $test;
my $result = `$cmd`;
print $result;

    This works fine for me:
    #!/usr/bin/perl

$ENV{foobar} = "baz";
my $res = `echo \$foobar`;
print $res; #prints 'baz'
