Taking into account that it's perl you're using, there's nothing funny
going on.
@robinbowes is interpreted as an array, and interpolated as such. The
array doesn't exist, so it is expanded to an empty string.
The solution is to escape the @:
perl -e'..., "[EMAIL PROTECTED]", ...'
or to use single quotes:
perl -e'..., [EMAIL PROTECTED], ...'
# q[] is an alternative single quote, used because '' would break
# the shell quoting
The warning mechanism (-w) would have warned you:
Possible unintended interpolation of @robinbowes in string at -e line 1.
Name "main::robinbowes" used only once: possible typo at -e line 1.
