yes.

no.

qw{word word} is the same as ('word', 'word')... and qx{foo bar} is the same
as `foo bar`.  qx{} is just there if you need an alternate syntax to ``,
like if you needed to use a backtick in your command.

Is qw for holding list of data and qx is for running commands?
Do they both indicate a list context?
Thanks,
John
