Double quotes can be escaped or quoted inside of double quotes : `print " she said \"hello, world!\"";`. this also works with single quotes : `print ' she said \'hello, world!\'';`. for more info, see perlop manpage.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

`print "<a href=\"http://www.perlmonks.org\">Perlmonks</a>";` [download] Should work just fine. You have to add a `\` to anything you want to print that would normally be in a perl statement. (For the life of me the word for the concept of \(something) wont come to me. Its on the tip of my tongue... It's Monday, I suppose.) _14k4 - webmaster@poorheart.com (www.poorheart.com)	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Or, of course, you can use alternative quoting operators to remove the need to use ugly escaping characters. `print qq(a href="http://www.perlmonks.org">Perlmonks</a>);` [download] -- <http://www.dave.org.uk> "Perl makes the fun jobs fun and the boring jobs bearable" - me	[reply] [d/l]

There are plenty of ways, here are some: using CGI.pm: `print a( {href => "$link"}, "foo");` using alternate delimiters: `print qq{ <a href="$foo">foo</a>};` the dirtiest: `print '<a href="', $link, '">foo</a>';`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Just place the \ character before any " that is part of your data.	[reply]
