Instead, this gives 
1 = 1
2 = 2
"This is a test" = This is a test

Is this what you meant?

    What can I do in this case? 
        #...call to function
    &SomeFunction($a, $b, $c);

    #...in the function
    
    @args = ("$program $a $b $c");
    system(@args) == 0
        or die "system @args failed: $?";

    ...Do I change it to this? 
        #...call to function
    &SomeFunction($a, $b, '$c');

    #...in the function
    
    @args = ("$program $a $b '$c'");
    system(@args) == 0
        or die "system @args failed: $?";
