Correct.  It also says:

qq() operator in Perl <https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/introduction-to-perl/> can
be used in place of double quotes. It uses a set of parentheses to surround
the string.

Try making the sql string without using qq

This is worse than using correctly.

The OP should (I think) be using a parameterized query instead of brute
force string manipulation since this code is a prone to exploit.
