While I'm not necessarily saying it's a great solution, the answer
to your question is simple; the special "perl-string" pod processor
-- which is active in the perl compiler's input stream -- sees such
a construct and converts into a q() string literal.
It requires some machinery in the perl parser, for sure.

Yup.
