Are you saying that perl -e "system(q(type myfile.txt))"

is somehow different to perl -e "system('type myfile.txt')"?

I tried following your link to see if it clarified things, but it seemed to just be an essentially random page on the AS website with nothing that clarified what point you were trying to make?
