To avoid repeating myself, see my last comment in the forum thread.
The tl;dr: probably nothing, especially for one-liners, but it gets
progressively more complex once you start executing longer scripts.
And I still think there's a cognitive difference between

do tScript as "perl"
and
get shell("perl" && tScript)
