Re:x2 qw "$string $string" doesn't interpolate (qqw anyone?)

I dunno, there's an obvious conclusion to draw from all this:

operator acts on interpolates

q string no

qq string yes

qw word no

qqw word yes

operator	acts on	interpolates
`q`	string	no
`qq`	string	yes
`qw`	word	no
`qqw`	word	yes

... except that the last row in bold doesn't exist. That would be pretty cool actually, there have been times when I would have liked to be able to do just that.

Oh well, no-one ever claimed that Perl's operators were orthogonal.

I was just about to post the same question, and I see the question has already been asked. qqw needs to be part of the core, IMHO. It would also function (via accidential TIMTOWTDI-ness) as a split on space delimited strings... `@tokens = qqw/$foo/`;	[reply] [d/l]
