Chris, Do you absolutely need backticks? You can invoke a command/program and capture stdin, stdout with OPEN2, and stderr with OPEN3. I haven't done it in ActivePerl although I have in Unix. I do know they don't work well for my purposes with another perl script, but they might work with a system command or standard program.
