NAME
PerlX::QuoteOperator::Inescapable - a quote-like operator with no string
escapes
SYNOPSIS
use PerlX::QuoteOperator::Inescapable;
my $var1 = q(Hello World); # standard Perl quote-like operator
my $var2 = Q(Hello World); # this works the same
my $var3 = q(Hello\\World); # string includes a backslash
my $var4 = Q(Hello\\World); # string includes two backslashes!
DESCRIPTION
PerlX::QuoteOperator::Inescapable introduces a quote-like operator like
"q(...)" but that supports no string escapes! All characters quoted are
treated literally.
Like other quote-like operators, standard left/right bracket pairs are
supported; but unlike other quote-like operators, you cannot nest
balanced pairs of brackets:
Q(Hello (Earth) World); # no!
By default, a single quote-like operator is defined, "Q". You can define
alternative ones:
use Path::Class;
use PerlX::QuoteOperator::Inescapable
Q => (), # default Q operator
F => sub ($) { Path::Class::File->new(@_) },
D => sub ($) { Path::Class::Dir->new(@_) },
;
my $fonts = D!\\Server1\Marketing\Fonts!;
CAVEATS
The current implementation is limited to single-line literals. The
quote-like operator, starting delimiter and ending delimiter must all
appear on the same line of source code.
BUGS
The hash symbol (#) can not be used as a quote delimiter. ☹
