Abel, No, you don't have to escape them all. Perl treats single and double quotes differently. Single-quoted strings don't do interpolation and double-quoted strings do.

I've never seen a clear definition of why. From "import >this": Explicit is better than implicit. And doesn't perl's method mean that you have to escape _every_ _single_ '$' in strings? I think having to escape '\' is bad enough. _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
