So, what metters is the q operator, and not the char used to delimite the string.

Now qw means quote word, and again, qw``, qw{}, qw(), qw"", qw'', are all the same. a personalized quote word, that means: split(/\s+/,'a b c $x $y $z') , where interpolation doesn't exists and there's no place that says that exists interpolation for quote word.

So, what metters is the operator and not the char used with q, qq, qw, qr...
