This one doesn't work because, it seems, that sh will only execute once the output from my aScript.py is finished. aScript.py runs continuously. I found the solution with the following:

Code:
 aScript.py --user aUser:userPswd server.org PORT CODE | awk -F, 'NR>6 {cmd="curl \42http://aServerSomewhere.com/measurements/url_create?instrument_id=1&VAR1="substr($5,1,2)substr($5,5)"&VAR2="substr($7,1,3)"&VAR3="substr($12,4)"\42";system(cmd)}'

Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitLvalueSuUser(Contributed Perl DocumPerl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitLvalueSubstr(3)

NAME
Perl::Critic::Policy::BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitLvalueSubstr - Use 4-argument "substr" instead of writing "substr($foo, 2, 6) = $bar". AFFILIATION
This Policy is part of the core Perl::Critic distribution. DESCRIPTION
Conway discourages the use of "substr()" as an lvalue, instead recommending that the 4-argument version of "substr()" be used instead. substr($something, 1, 2) = $newvalue; # not ok substr($something, 1, 2, $newvalue); # ok The four-argument form of "substr()" was introduced in Perl 5.005. This policy does not report violations on code which explicitly specifies an earlier version of Perl (e.g. "use 5.004;"). CONFIGURATION
This Policy is not configurable except for the standard options. SEE ALSO
"substr" in perlfunc (or "perldoc -f substr"). "4th argument to substr" in perl5005delta AUTHOR
