Instead of backqouting put your shell calls inside a system().

#! /usr/bin/perl

system('dsmadmc command');

seems to work fine for me

 Subject: How do you de-reference quotes in perl/dsmadmc
          script?









Hello,

I have an adsm server script called webfilespacedelete as below:

delete filespace $1 $2 wait=yes


and I have a perl program as below:

`/bin/dsmadmc -servername=pipit -id=test -password=test123 run
webfilespacedelete  test_node_name "\\\\gp's p5\\d$" > ./output.txt `


NOTICE the  tick mark in the filespace name (gp's)..... it keeps saying
unmatched quotes when I run this.... how do I need to set up my perl script
to deference the tick? I have tried  double ticking  ('') and backslash (\)
with no luck.....

Please post and/or email me at kkwiatek AT nist DOT gov
Thanks!

Keith
