The problem is trying to pass valid Perl though the bash shell . There
is an insane amount of interaction between all the escapings involved in
this specific pattern. The hard problem is getting bash to *not* change
what you are passing to Perl before Perl sees it.
Use 'echo' as a stand-in for Perl and you will see what is actually
being passed to Perl for execution (it most likely isn't what you think
it is). Once you know you are feeding Perl the right thing, you can
worry about getting the pattern for the substitution correct.
After enough poking and prodding you'll get something like this (after
giving up on getting bash to not molest the ' characters before passing
them to Perl):
's/(\$conf\[\047nagios_base\047]\s*=\s*")\/nagios\/cgi-bin";/$1stuffhere"\;/'
Is there some reason you can't use a straight Perl script instead of
using bash to run a perl one liner?
