Let's check it out with today's favorite toy (Deparse):
# perl -MO=Deparse,-p -we 'print "Eek\n" if (shift ne "");'
((shift(@ARGV) ne '') and print("Eek\n"));
-e syntax OK
# perl -MO=Deparse,-p -we "print 'Eek\n' if (shift ne '');"
((shift(@ARGV) ne '') and print('Eek\\n'));
-e syntax OK
It would seem that perl is smart enough at compile time
to fix that up for you, just like you would expect.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
