See perlop:
Customary Generic Meaning Interpolates
`` qx{} Command yes (unless '' is delimiter)
So the string inside the qx{} quote is already interpolated; the @INC
variable is interpolated into the string for qx{} to execute. On my system
that means that you're actually trying to run this command:
print qx{perl -e "print Programs:Programming:Perl5.6.1:lib:MacPPC:
Programs:Programming:Perl5.6.1:lib:
Programs:Programming:Perl5.6.1:site_perl:MacPPC:
Programs:Programming:Perl5.6.1:site_perl: : Dev:Pseudo:"};
basically. Using your example I got the same error as you:
# syntax error, near "Programs:"
File '-e'; Line 1
# Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.
Changing your example to:
print qx{perl -e "print \@INC"};
the output was a single colon.
