| Also known as an acute, grave, grave accent, left quote, open quote, or a push, the back quote or backquote is a punctuation mark ( ` ) found on the same computer keyboard key as the tilde. Below is an example of a Perl syntax that uses back quotes to execute a system command and loads it into a files array. @files = `dir /b c:\windows\temp`; Although not as common as the above alternative meaning this mark is also sometimes referred to as a back glitch, back prime, back spark, back tick, birk, blugle, quasiquote, and unapostrophe.
