Hi
I need to assign a long multiline string value to a scalar.
I would like to know a way where i can assing a string value to a scalar
with inserting the escape char(\). something similar to what we do with
print
print << "label";
........
.<title> $title.</title>.
......
label
Here we need not escape the / char in "</title>;
Can we use any similar method to assing a value to any scalar,
Sorry if I am asking a stupid question.
with regards
Rajeev Rumale
