in thread Ways of quoting

too bad we don't have: <<~/HERE/x
my $re = qr/@{[<<'HERE']}/x; f . . HERE

      ... and commonly referred to as the baby cart.

      (As a speaker of en_GB that's not a term in our common usage. You are more likely to hear "buggy" or "pram". IMHO this makes the "baby cart" term even more preferable since it has a unique meaning for me - it's only the perl operator, regardless of context.)

        Yeah, I've never heard the term "baby cart" outside the context of Perl. (I grew up in Australia and live in the UK.)
