Nov 2, 2020 at 0:15 comment added Dan x=b only within the echo command (whether builtin or binary). The $x substitution is performed well before that, in the shell. For example perl sees the environment variable as set to b x=a; x=b perl -e 'print $ENV{"x"}; print "\n"' but will print a if the substitution is done at time of invocation of course! x=a; x=b perl -e "print qq($x\n);"
