mikelieman has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: (strings)

I just came across this while doing some maintenance work.
$debug = q{};
And can't think of a single reason why this would be preferable to the simpler form:
$debug = '';
Am I missing something here, or is it just another example of TMTOWTDI ( but you probably shouldn't... )
