I goofed. (EWRONGLIST) I realise now that I should have said that RFC 328 (and 327) should have been on this list, not perl-language-data I had what I thought was a good look at previous RFCs but managed to miss RFC226 (Selective interpolation in single quotish context.) What I wanted comments about (I'm not sure if I favour it and so far 2 people have said they don't) is whether to be very strict on q// == '' == *NO* interpolation [Nathan Wiger, http://www.mail-archive.com/perl6-language@perl.org/msg04005.html ] and hence "cure" Does it strike anyone else as odd that 'foo\\bar' eq 'foo\bar'? [Steve Fink, http://www.mail-archive.com/perl6-language@perl.org/msg04008.html ] by removing all \ escapes from '' and q(), to make perl's use of '' just like /bin/sh, and identical to how perl treats <<'HERE' I've asked the librarian what I should do, but as there's little time left to demolish this idea, I've sent this mail here now.
