In 20140822, parallel changed which shell it uses to execute its
commands, see https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/forum.php?forum_id=8067

IMHO, using /bin/sh is the "only correct thing to do" for perl (and for
parallel, btw, but I don't want to start that discussion again).

I think that your the quote-mess is due to calling perl from the command
line. ;-)
