RE: multiple quotes

Two different ways.  Use the qq operator or escape the quotes.

print qq[\n];
print "\n";

You can either escape the " with a backslash...

  print "like \"this\"...";

but that gets to look REALLY ugly, REALLY fast.  So use a different
quoting operator instead:

  print "xyz";
  print 'http://www.foo.com/";>xyz';# no variables here
  print qq{http://www.foo.com/";>xyz};  # qq is double quotes
  print q{http://www.foo.com/";>xyz};   # q is single quotes

perldoc perlop, look for "Quote and Quote-like Operators".

print qq(\n);

qq() is the generic form of "".  You can also use qq{}, qq##, etc.

See the perlop page for more details.

 Use single quote marks inside your print statement.  for instance


print "\n";

Better yet, use CGI instead.

you need to escape your inner quotes with a backslash like so.

print "\n";
