I'm using Ubuntu Linux and double-quotes work for me.
You're right jdporter, I have no idea what I did that made it seem like perl -e " ... " worked in that case.
nodereaper, can you strike this? I guess that is not to form here.
UPDATE: Aha. I found out what I did that worked. It wasn't exactly what was in the instructions and I don't know why it worked. I just learned about say and I've been using it everywhere.
$ perl -E "@now = localtime(); for (@now) { say; }"

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).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
