Brandon, You got it. That did it. Thanks to everyone for the quick response. What I did was this. In my shell script I changed the line which sets up the variable to this
school= "\"Cardinal O\'Hara\"" And then when I called the perl script I did this (as Brandon suggested) perl weekdays.pl "$school" That did it so now I get Cardinal O'Hara in the output. Thanks again.
