in reply to Re^2: perl interpolation
in thread perl interpolation

The doc is rather inconsistent, at the start of perlop is the following table:
Customary Generic Meaning Interpolates '' q{} Literal no "" qq{} Literal yes `` qx{} Command yes* qw{} Word list no // m{} Pattern match yes* qr{} Pattern yes* s{}{} Substitution yes* tr{}{} Transliteration no (but see below) <<EOF here-doc yes* * unless the delimiter is ''.
Note: it says single quotes do not offer interpolation. So, as in most holy books, it depends on which part of perlop you (carefully) read.
