You could use the single-quote as your -e delimiter. :-)
You can? I seem to have trouble trying to do that. 
C:\>perl -e 'print "foo\n"'
Can't find string terminator "'" anywhere before EOF at -e line 1.

In cmd.exe you can escape quotes with either a quote or a backslash, I don't know if either will work in command.com, If some one else doesn't know I'll check after I get home from work both do apear to work in command.com on Windows 98. 
C:\>perl -e "print '""'"
"
C:\>perl -e "print '\"'"
"
