While I find that the cmd.exe shell is fairly workable, its handling of
various quotation marks leaves a lot to be desired.
My brain has become accustomed to converting the above to:
perl -le "print q{PRIME} if (1 x shift) !~ /^(11+)\1+$/" 19
In this particular case, you cold have also done:
perl -le "print -PRIME if (1 x shift) !~ /^(11+)\1+$/" 19
if you don't mind the leading dash.
On the other hand, you are just using a one liner on the command line
