I desire you print your statement above. Would it be:
print 'print \'c:\it\\'s\easier\to\write...\';';
The quesiton here is that C<\\'>, which means something different in
your recommendation than it means in Perl5, but still does the same
thing....
Is there any gotcha, here? I'm not sure, but it's tickling my brain in
an odd way, and I keep wanting to say that it breaks down somewhere....
