It echos fine but does not run fine.
You have to run it in a script.
#---------
#!/bin/bash
variable="-b \"dc=example,dc=com\""
ldapsearch $variable
echo This is echoed: $variable
#----------
when you run sh -x to it this is the result.
+ variable=-b "dc=example,dc=com"
+ ldapsearch -b '"dc=example,dc=com"'
ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Can't contact LDAP server
+ echo This is echoed: -b '"dc=example,dc=com"'
This is echoed: -b "dc=example,dc=com"
You will notice that is echos fine but when it is run it has the single quotes.
Ignore the ldap error this is just an example of how BASH add single quote when the command is run.

ppi::token::quote::double
PPI::Token::Quote::Double(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation PPI::Token::Quote::Double(3pm)
NAME
PPI::Token::Quote::Double - A standard "double quote" token
INHERITANCE
PPI::Token::Quote::Double
isa PPI::Token::Quote
isa PPI::Token
isa PPI::Element
DESCRIPTION
A "PPI::Token::Quote::Double" object represents a double-quoted interpolating string.
The string is treated as a single entity, PPI will not try to understand what is in the string during the parsing process.
METHODS
There are several methods available for "PPI::Token::Quote::Double", beyond those provided by the parent PPI::Token::Quote, PPI::Token and
PPI::Element classes.
Got any ideas for methods? Submit a report to rt.cpan.org!
interpolations
The interpolations method checks to see if the double quote actually contains any interpolated variables.
Returns true if the string contains interpolations, or false if not.
simplify
For various reasons, some people find themselves compelled to have their code in the simplest form possible.
The "simply" method will turn a simple double-quoted string into the equivalent single-quoted string.
If the double can be simplified, it will be modified in place and returned as a convenience, or returns false if the string cannot be
simplified.
SUPPORT
See the support section in the main module.
