forgive my ignorance here, but I thought single quoted, or apostrophized
[however you call this character] (') text strings were supposed to be
interpreted by perl in an unaltered manner.
sample code, indicating how to reference a named pipe in the Win32::Pipe
module, shows something like
Here's my take:

Specifically this part:
* The sequence \' yields the character ' in the actual string. (This is the
exception we already discussed above).
* The sequence \\ yields the character \ in

backslash and variable substitution;
single-quoted strings are not

The version of Win32::Pipe on CPAN (and in ActivePerl) may be a different
