backticks is simply an operator in Perl that tells Perl to run something and capture whatever that external program sends to standout. backticks itself doesn't set/unset/change/pupulate any variables(well except $!, $? etc when Perl is having problem running your program and trying to tell you that). as far as user variable is concern, backticks doesn't change any of those. it's what you assign the output of backticks that matters. it that case, you can capture the output of backticks to anything you like including:
