Re: [GeneX-dev] email addresses in the installation script

[<ja...@op...>]

Hey Harry,

We should not escape the email addresses.

Perl only upchucks if you place them inside an interpolated string
(i.e. a string with double-quotes). If you place them inside a
non-interpolated string (i.e. a string with single-quotes) all is
well. 

Example:

my $email_address = 'ja...@op...';

print STDOUT <<"EOF";

Hi,

You told me to send email to $email_address

EOF

However, if you write

my $email_address = "ja...@op...";

Perl will barf immediately.

jas.
