The error message was the worded that way because "q]" starts a string
literal, and you never provided the closing "]" char.
perl -we"print q]Hi there];"
You can use almost any char for quoting with q, qq, qx etc. It is
symmetric unless you use one of "[<({" for the opening char, then you need
to use the corresponding "]>)}" for the closing quote as well.
