in reply to Refactoring Redux...

I haven't read this post closely, but, I kept noticing the escaping of double-quotes throughout each stage of transformation : 
print "<!DOCTYPE svg  PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.0//EN\"\n";

I just recently started paying attention to qq and think I would clean this up as so: 
print qq(<!DOCTYPE svg  PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD SVG 1.0//EN"\n);

    Your are probably right---too many years of doing everything with double quotes I guess (plus a macro that does most of this for me<g>)...

      Here is the example: 
      
my $x = 'hi there';

print qq(Ok now if you would only say "$x", I might acknowledge you \n
+);
