in thread Perl, JavaScript and quoting/escaping

I'm surprised that (qq{\'\'} eq q{''}; wouldn't this be eq q{''}?

Still makes no sense to me.

" VS &quote;

So you're asking how to embed double quotes in a JS double-quoted string literal? This isn't really an appropriate place to ask that. One escapes them with a backslash: 

alert("foo \"bar\" baz");    // foo "bar" baz

    For example:
    open(...) or print 'alert("foo '.$!.' baz");';
    If/when $! contains one of '", ect. As the escape-e could be anything and in my case content provided from a insecure variable I need something that can withstand any amount of trickery done by malicious ppl.
