SWISH::API works fine for 2.4.3.  You would be wise to use that --
along with maybe CGI.pm for processing your input arguments.

I think you are mixing things up.  You would use quotes to keep the
shell from breaking up arguments that might have a space.  You also
need ( and ) to make your queries work right if they include spaces.

Unless you really know what you are doing, running a query through the
shell is probably not a good idea.
