Re^3: run perl script with cmd line in shell

Just wanted to add that due to the way ssh executes commands, you may need to shell-quote your command line arguments twice if they have _any_ odd characters:

% ssh someserver perl - "foo bar" < localscript.pl 
$VAR1 = [
          'foo',
          'bar'
        ];
% ssh someserver perl - "foo (bar)" < localscript.pl 
bash: -c: line 0: syntax error near unexpected token `('
bash: -c: line 0: `perl - foo (bar)'

% ssh someserver perl - '"foo (bar)"' < localscript.pl 
$VAR1 = [
          'foo (bar)'
        ];
