I'm writing some scripts that do printer functions; one of the problems I
ran into is that occasionally (frequently actually) I need to execute MPE
commands that contain "'"s (single quotes); as in #J'12345

Having just started with Perl (and having yet to have picked up a book on
it) I need to figure a way to get

system("callci '$cicommand'");

to work when cicommand contains a single-quote... Any help out Perl gurus?
