mmm..ok

I'm a newbie but im not stupid. At least i dont think i posted that its a "stupid newbie question". I would not ask if it was in some documented form readily available for me. I have 4 books on perl and not one answer this question.

I printed the line like i did for a reason. It was with single quotes not double. I just wanted to know how you would put a new line if you didnt have the double quotes. Its not in all 4 books i have and it might be that "you would never use the single quotes if you want to make a new line" but i cant find that statement and wish to know this before i move on. 

So one more time. 
---How would you get this to print a line after it--
-------------------------------------------------------
-----print 'This will be on a line by itself.';--------
-------------------------------------------------------
1. is the only way with double quotes?
2. can you get a new line with single quotes?

as for "Programming Perl published by O'Reilly "--there is nothing newbie about this book. O'Reilly is good but they dont cater to beginners.
