Just to add nothing to the discussion: I find double quotes without interpolation annoying, but only when I'm reading code without syntax highlighting. Whenever I read code with syntax highlighting that makes the interpolated variables stand out, it's no issue at all. I tend to write "" first, and then change them to '' when getting close to releasing the code. Unpaid non-opensource code usually stays at ""... My excuse is growing up with BASIC. -- Met vriendelijke groet, Kind regards, Korajn salutojn, Juerd Waalboer: Perl hacker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://juerd.nl/sig> Convolution: ICT solutions and consultancy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
