in reply to double quotes and single qoutes

  1. What operating system are you on? Different types of OS have different rules on quoting.
  2. Do avoid (some of) the problems with quoting in one-liners, use q() or qq() to single or double quote.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James
