NAME

Quote::Code - quoted strings with arbitrary code interpolation

SYNOPSIS

 use Quote::Code;
 print qc"2 + 2 = {2 + 2}";  # "2 + 2 is 4"
 my $msg = qc{The {$obj->name()} is {$obj->state()}.};

DESCRIPTION

This module provides the new keyword qc. qc is a quoting operator like q or qq. It works like q in that it doesn't interpolate $foo or @foo, but like qq in that it recognizes backslash escapes such as \n, \xff, etc.

What it adds is the ability to embed arbitrary expressions in braces ({...}). This is both more readable and more efficient than the old "foo @{[bar]}" trick.

If you need a literal { in a qc string, you can escape it with a backslash (\{) or interpolate code that yields a left brace ({'{'}).

BUGS

It doesn't understand \N{...}.
