I'm mostly talking about having an alternative to backticks which 
supports a list of atoms and doesn't involve shell quoting semantics.

Irony: most of the backtick usage is just to run perl -e $something.

Any reason I can't use something like the following on win32?

  open(my $fh, '-|', $^X, @opts, '-e', $oneliner) or die $!;
  my $output = do {local $/; readline($fh)};
