A little bit of reading would have helped...
It's all there: perlop
# q/STRING/
# 'STRING'
A single-quoted, literal string. A backslash represents a backslash un
+less followed by the delimiter or another backslash, in which case th
+e delimiter or backslash is interpolated.
$foo = q!I said, "You said, 'She said it.'"!;
$bar = q('This is it.');
$baz = '\n'; # a two-character string
qw/STRING/
Evaluates to a list of the words extracted out of STRING, using embedd
+ed whitespace as the word delimiters. It can be understood as being r
+oughly equivalent to:
split(' ', q/STRING/);
the differences being that it generates a real list at compile time, a
+nd in scalar context it returns the last element in the list. So this
+ expression:
qw(foo bar baz)
is semantically equivalent to the list:
'foo', 'bar', 'baz'

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
