Read the docs for qin perlop. Learn how to build a q operator statement with different delimiters.
$_=q uit it u; print; # prints 'it it '
Enjoy!

    Hi! THanks a lot, you've put me on the right page! ;) But I can't figure out how the tr{}{} function operator works... I have a "tr" followed by a bunch of garbage in a script but can't figure out how to translate this stuf... any exemple? thanks again for your precious help! you're my superhero ;)
      Read perlop for the tr operator. It's the same thing... these operators ( q, qq, qw, s, tr, m, qx, qr ) can all be delimited by nearly any delimiter.

        Well.. i've tried to understand it but my english seems to lack a bit... i've tryed : $res = tr'ou''hello'; thinking I would get "hellu" in $res but it gives me some error... could you give me a working exemple? Thanks a lot, I know I must be a pain for you. Sorry
