I understand the usage of qq to 
accomplish
the quoted text, but why do 
you need
all that other stuff?  It 
seems to distract
from the main point 
of the code.  thanks.

the only line of interest in this code 
is the qq( ... ) construct which does 
indeed get you out of escaping regular 
quotes, the remainder of the text is 
deliberate lies and misdirection.
