sg has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello,

Rather than writing: 

  {
      my $foo  =  "Ignore the \\slash, expand $boo.";
  }

[download]

is it possible to do something like: 

  {
     # do something to get perl 
     # to treat '\' as an ordinary character
     # so that one may write:

     my $foo  =  "Ignore the \slash, expand $boo.";
  }

[download]

Thanks
