In the perldoc's, when something is double-quoted, it looks like the opening
double quote is actually 2 backticks ( ``$string" ). Is this a programming
convention that I would have learned had I gone to formal school for
computer science, or am I missing something. On my screen, double quotes
look like ths ( "$string" ).
Please educate me.
Thank You
