This won't affect the fact that backslash needs backslashing. Turning "backslash followed by n" into a newline is interpolating and can be turned off. Removing the special meaning of the next character is not interpolating and cannot be turned off. You need that if you want to write s'\''`'; # a perverse way of turning apostrophes into backticks. s' \' ' ` 'x; # slightly more legible You'll always need a backslash to turn ' from a delimiter to a plain ol' character. -- Csaba Ráduly, Software Engineer Sophos Anti-Virus email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.sophos.com US Support: +1 888 SOPHOS 9 UK Support: +44 1235 559933 _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
