$hiddenField = param('hiddenField');
$hiddenField =~ s/\"/\\\"/g; # \\ - insert \ and \" guard my "
$document = $hiddenField ;
hence your print would now output:
<input type="hidden" name="hiddenField" value="here is a quote \"this
Quote\".">
which I think would work ....
And would retain the "this Quote" in the hidden field - as a CGI
but would also need to be 'deconstructed upon return....
