I'll say no, agreeing with the CON. > 3) allowing \qq[] in single-quoted here-docs. > PRO: it's consistent with single-quotes > CON: it contradicts the assertion that backslashes are not special in > single quoted here-docs I'd say no here, which is consistent with Perl 5. My opinion basically agrees with Perl 5: I've never had a problem with those quoting rules. OTOH, I've never had to deal with localization. In single-quoted heredocs, _nothing_ should be special. When I'm writing a P::RD grammar, I don't want to worry about doubling my backslashes, which might already be doubled. \\\\ is never pretty. If there is a single backslashed construct, then backslashes must be doubled, which stinks. > we need a quoting mechanism where NOTHING is special I agree one-hundapacent! Luke
