Is there an alternative to text_to_js_lit packaged as a module?

package Module;

sub text_to_js_lit {
   my $s = @_ ? $_[0] : $_;
   $s =~ s/\\/\\\\/g;
   $s =~ s/'/\\'/g;
   # ...
   return qq{'$s'};
}

1;

I'm surprised that (q{\'\'} eq q{\'\'}); wouldn't this be eq q{''}?

Say again?

Where I was so lost as to why I couldn't get my string to popup. [...] Where the result is not readable, this string is displayed as is.

What? You just said the same piece of code didn't display the message and displayed it as-is.
