It appears to me that the OP included that condition in order to persuade us that: (a) a new quoting mechanism is needed for building perl strings in shell: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2016/05/msg00403.html and (b) an old quoting mechanism should be changed: https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2016/05/msg00388.html You can call me cynical if you wish.
