There's nothing wrong with that quoting syntax. But it's not used by Perl, it's just used in the documentation. You can't write $x = `Jeff'; That's not legal. The `...' quoting style is just used in the outputting of the documentation. >NAME > YAPE::Regex::Explain - explanation of a regular expression It's nice to see my module getting use.
