I don't like it, and here's why: > currently single quoted here docs don't interpolate C<\\> or C<\'>. We already have a way to read in arbitrary literals. I _like_ the fact that C<q> allows backslash to be used to allow including the delimiter. It works for any delimiter, too, not just single-quote. Could I go for getting rid of C<\\> except directly preceding the delimiter? I think not, since if you really need to quote a series of backslashes you can do it using a here doc.
