Okay, the reason for the strange error message is that there are quote
operators, one of which is q. For example,
'abc'
is equivalent to
q(abc)
and
"abc"
is equivalent to
qq(abc)
But you don't need to use () - you can use any paired delimiters. Perl
things you meant q] to be the start of a single quoted string, using the q
operator, and was wondering where the final ] is.
