Perl command from within a script

[whughey]

I have a one line perl command that works perfect from the command line (linux), but when trying to use it in another script with the system command, I get:
sh: syntax error near unexpected token `f)'
sh: -c: line 1: `perl -p -i -e 's/template.com/test.com/g;' 0 10 6 4 3 2 1 0find /home/test/* -type f)'

The command:
perl -p -i -e "s/template.com/test.com/g;" $(find /home/test/* -type f)

I tried the following inside my script:
system ("perl -p -i -e 's/template\.com/test\.com/g;' $(find /home/test/* -type f)"
Any suggestion?

I believe it's due to the [tt]$[/tt] symbol being interpreted as part of a perl variable. Try escaping this symbol as [tt]\$[/tt]. Alternatively, use the [tt]File::Find[/tt] package - see faq219-969 for an example of its use.
