can you point to a place where this could become a problem?
(i'm not familiar with all of openca's code, just a perl hacker.)

perl's quoting rules are different from sh's.
this prints a line in perl:

  $pwd = '#';
  print "password matches\n" if ($pwd eq '#');

i may become a problem where the password get given to openssl, though,
if one doesn't use proper care...
