I am trying to run the below lines from within a perl script:
my $temp=`echo "DISPLAY QMGR DEADQ SCMDSERV SCHINIT" | runmqsc`;
print `$temp | egrep "QMGR|SCH"`;

But, I get an error saying:
sh: syntax error at line 1: `5724-H72' unexpected

The output when we run the above command from ksh will be:
bash-2.03$ echo "DISPLAY QMGR DEADQ SCMDSERV SCHINIT" | runmqsc
5724-H72 (C) Copyright IBM Corp. 1994, 2005. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.
Starting MQSC for queue manager NIMESU02.

QMNAME(NIMESU02) DEADQ(DEAD.LETTER.QUEUE)
SCHINIT(QMGR) SCMDSERV(MANUAL)
One MQSC command read.
No commands have a syntax error.
All valid MQSC commands were processed.


Thanks for helping me!

How is the print command causing a shell script to run? I'm a little rusty with Perl.

You have to shuffle up between single, double and back quotes. I am not sure which set goes with shell scripting and which ones with perl. But it will go well handy with proper set of quotes.

You could change this
print `$temp | egrep "QMGR|SCH"`;
to
`echo $temp | egrep "QMGR|SCH"`;
if I follow you correctly.
