Should work just fine. You have to add a \ to anything you want to print that would normally be in a perl statement. (For the life of me the word for the concept of \(something) wont come to me. Its on the tip of my tongue... It's Monday, I suppose.)

    Or, of course, you can use alternative quoting operators to remove the need to use ugly escaping characters.

    print qq(a href="http://www.perlmonks.org">Perlmonks</a>);
