Quote delimiters
Was writing a script and stopped just to write this and ask... what is your favorite quote delimiter? I mean, what do you use to delimit quote words, or regular expressions?
I find out that most of the time I use the slash for regular expressions because with them I can not type the preceding 'm'. But, for instance, on use CGI qw.:standard.; I am liking more the dot. When substituting paths, I prefer to use the exclamation mark.
Rarely I remember that I can use balanced braces. Probably that would be the better choice on most situations, but I forget it...
And you?
I blog about Perl. D'uh!
I'm partial to
//and[]because I can type them on my keyboard without pressing shift which isn't the case with<>(){}etc..and,are even easier but they'll also easily conflict with whatever I'm typing.I typically use // for regular expressions and {} for everything else.
Curly braces `{}` are my preferred quote delimiters.
Typically I use
{}withmandqrand()withqw.I mostly use // and sometimes {} when that\s more convenient. I rarely use any of the other options.
