heheheh now that all depends. If I run:

The first would print The rain in $Spain

No they aren't equivalent.
The first prints out -> The rain in $Spain

That's true, but if you have double quotes inside of single quotes, the
double quotes will still interpolate. In other words, the enclosing single
quotes will not block the mighty interpolative power of the enclosed double
quotes. Please let me know if you believe this yo be incorrect.

You can avoid the backslashitis by using the qq() operator:
print qq();
It's much cleaner, especially with HTML.

Yes, that works, but escaping characters can get very ugly on screen.

Try running the following code as a test script:
--- Start code
#!/path/to/perl
my $var = "I'm interpolated";
print 'This is a variable name-> $var';
print "\nThis is a variable value-> $var \n";
-- End code
Your output should be:
This is a variable name-> $var
This is a variable value-

What do you mean by that? Variables do not interpolate if the string is

Your quotes may be mismatched. Meaning that you are enclosing the entire
HTML source with double quotes and you have unescaped double quotes in your
HTML source. That would confuse perl.

Hi Dan,
It doesn't really matter what size your script is, the perl interpreter is
