perl ........

Hi ,
I am using the following script for finding and global replace

perl -p -i -e "s/gruesome/wonderful/g" testfile.lst

the above command is working if i execute on shell.......but it is not working when place it in a perl script and exeute it...i am getting a error "BASEWORD found where operator expected"

i used

perl -p -i -e "s/gruesome/wonderful/g" testfile.lst;

'perl -p -i -e "s/gruesome/wonderful/g" testfile.lst';

'perl -p -i -e s/gruesome/wonderful/g testfile.lst';
