Perl's Quote Words Feature

You Don't Always Have To Use Quotes

Perl has a handy feature called 'quote words' which allows you under certain circumstances to avoid the use of quotes altogether.

Example I
my @peppers = qw(green red yellow black cayenne);

an alternative to the coding :

my @peppers = ('green','red','yellow','black','cayenne');

What's nice about using quote words is that sometimes it's easier to read text that's coded this way.

Example II
foreach my $pepper(qw(green red yellow black cayenne))
   {print "$pepper Pepper\n"}

an alternative to the coding :

foreach my $pepper('green','red','yellow','black','cayenne')
   {print "$pepper Pepper\n"}
