Question 1.

In this script I would like for convenience' sake to use variables in the second line, but I don't seem to be able to do so. Am I missing something or is is simply not possible?


$source = 'MacRoman'; # I want to use this in the next line use encoding qw( MacRoman ), STDOUT => qw( utf-8 ) ; $text = "café" ; print $text ;


Question 2


Is there a way, without using q(), to single-quote a block of text as one can double-quote it this way:

$text = <<EOT;
$ome$tuff
$ome$tuff
$ome$tuff
EOT
#

I want to be able to quote a block of JIS-encoded stuff (which contains lots of $)
