I always got by with "". : : Although I must admit to liking python's C< r"..." > meaning : absolutely raw string (useful for avoiding double escape problems with : their regular expressions). Left me thinking it was short for regex : and not raw for a little while... Actually, I was thinking about a raw option, so q:r could be it. And it might actually turn out to be useful for quoting rules if for some reason you really don't want to write an rx//. And oddly, it might end up with a qr// shorthand. So we might end up with qr:here'END' for the Perl 6 equivalent to <<'END'. Larry
