I am learning perl and my code is using strict. I thought it would help me learn better then being sloppy.

I am trying to connect to a sql database and my password contains a @ in the middle of the word
so
my $pass = "p...@word";

its killing my script and i cant seem to find anything on the internet on how to just use p...@word as pure text. I've tried /p...@word/ but that didn't help and im sorta out of ideas, im going to go get a perl book from my college library maybe it has an answer.

Anyone know what to do?
