in reply to Re^2: What does $_ = qq~"$_"~ do?
in thread What does $_ = qq~"$_"~ do?

I was completely overthinking it - thanks for clarifying.

Hi,

There is a list for overthinking avoidance :)

Basic debugging checklist

perl -MO=Deparse - $_ = qq~"$_"~; __END__ $_ = qq["$_"];

ppi_dumper is also great at hints

$ ppi_dumper input_file PPI::Document PPI::Statement PPI::Token::Magic '$_' PPI::Token::Whitespace ' ' PPI::Token::Operator '=' PPI::Token::Whitespace ' ' PPI::Token::Quote::Interpolate 'qq~"$_"~' PPI::Token::Structure ';'
