body: <p>I am trying to put below command in perl system() function.But getting so many compilation errors (syntax).</p>
  
  <pre><code>./istool export -domain serviceshost:9080 -u dsadm -p password -ar test.isx -pre -ds '-base="ENGINEHOST/Dev_Project" Jobs/Batch/\*.*'
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I was using it like in perl:</p>
  
  <pre><code>system("./istool export -domain serviceshost:9080 -u dsadm -p password -ar test.isx -pre -ds '-base="ENGINEHOST/Dev_Project" Jobs/Batch/\*.*'");
