Question : Using Bash command in Perl Script

Hi All,

I want to use Bash Command in shell script. The  Bash command is below. Can someone suggest a way i could have the code in Perl.  The values in the bash command are the variables which comes off the perl script. These are the variables which Perl reads from a config file i.e $Instanceid $region

export ec2running=`$EC2_HOME/bin/ec2-describe-instances  --region=$region  $instanceid | grep INSTANCE | tr '\t' '\n' | grep running`
