perl function q

www.igi‮aeditf‬.com

The q function in Perl is used to create single-quoted strings. It is similar to using single quotes, but allows you to use single quotes within the string without escaping them.

Here's an example:

my $string = q(This is a string with 'single quotes' in it.);
print $string;

Output:

This is a string with 'single quotes' in it.

In this example, the q function is used to create a string that contains single quotes without the need to escape them. The resulting string is then printed using the print function.
