Sorry, but I find it pretty difficult to work out what you are asking
from that. You refer to a "regex" but I see no sign of any regex, and
"this cribs in cmd execution and o/p bangs!" lost me completely. A
small, self contained example script (SSCE) that illustrated your
problem and that I could cut and paste, and run on my box might have
been more useful.
My best guess from reading your post several times is that you are
asking about quoting. If so, check out the quoting operators in 'perldoc
perlop', probably qq. If not, please feel free to try again, especially
with the SSCE.
