that isn't valid perl. is that the actual line you used? you can't put
single quotes inside a string delimited with single quotes. the best way
is to use the q operator and choose a different delimiter. also use
white space around the =.
my $RSYNC_OPTS = q{ -auvr --include='*/' --exclude='*' } ;
ET> system("$RSYNC", "$RSYNC_OPTS",
"$host:/Blah/blah/Blue/$host_env/$cluster","/tmp/$host");
there is not need to quote scalar vars like that. in fact it could lead
to a bug in some situations.
