Actually, I was looking for a complete solution to tap into Perl's double quote interpolation mechanism. The solution proposed in the FAQ won't work in these cases: `'abc @var def' 'abc ${var} def' 'abc $$var def'` [download]	[reply] [d/l]

In that case, an eval like you used above is the only way. You can use quotemeta to escape the quotes.	[reply]

Of course, `quotemeta` would escape everything, including the subexpressions he wanted to interpolate... -- `[ e d @ h a l l e y . c c ]`	[reply] [d/l]
