URIEXEC(1)            User Contributed Perl Documentation           URIEXEC(1)


NAME

       uriexec - Decode and execute the given URI-encoded command


SYNOPSIS

         uriexec [--cd I<cd>] echo %24HOME


DESCRIPTION

       Run the specified command (optionally from the specified directory).
       Each URL-encoded character (%xx) is translated prior to executing the
       command with exec().

       Uriexec solves the classic problem of having to figure out how to quote
       shell metacharacters to pass commands across multiple shells and ssh
       processes.  Simply call "uriexec" on a string created with
       "URI::Escape::uri_escape", and it will end up executing on the final
       machine with proper quoting.


ARGUMENTS

       --cd dir
           Directory to cd to before the exec of the given command, URI-
           encoded.

       --shell shell
           Name of the shell and additional parameters to prefix, URI-encoded.
           Defaults to "/bin/sh -c".

       --show
           Instead of executing the command, print the decoding of the command
           to aid in user debug.  This also supports decoding nested uriexec
           calls, however they are not always perfect so the output from this
           option is only for users, not scripts.

       --version
           Displays program version and exits.
