Perl likes this:
$string = "'Hello ' . `executethis` . ' test\n'";
You probably want to surround the whole string in single quotes, but use
dot-concatenation to string the pieces of command together. I didn't
try what you have below, but I did notice that backticks weren't being
executed if they were inside a string (for me, running perl on win32 at
least).
Good luck,
