    Hello Experts,

    We have a unix script which has set of perl Statements. It is working fine on AIX7.1 which has perl v5.10.1. But same set of Statements are not working on AIX7.2 which has perl v5.20.1. I doubt the issue with below perl Statement.

    open (CMD, "cat \${CONFIGFILE} | sed \"s/\\\"/\\\\\\\\\\\"/g\" |");

    Could you someone help me.

    Found that usage of  "@_" caused issue on v 5.20.1 version. Tuned the script and it is resolved.
