in reply to Interpolation in Single-quotes?

From perlop:

Quote-Like Operators

* q/STRING/

* 'STRING'

A single-quoted, literal string. A backslash represents a backslash unless followed by the delimiter or another backslash, in which case the delimiter or backslash is interpolated.

Rule One: Do not act incautiously when confronting a little bald wrinkly smiling man.

    ++ This is exactly the doc I couldn't find.

    Thanks to duff and 5mi11er as well. In particular, I found helpful, 5mi11er's distinction between variable interpolation and escaping the delimeter.

    #my sig used to say 'I humbly seek wisdom. '. Now it says:
    use strict;
    use warnings;
    I humbly seek wisdom.
