Semi-Obscure Perl Trick-of-the-Day:

$msg = qq{"This construct's equivalent to double-quotes," he said.\n};

$msg .= q{"This construct's equivalent to single-quotes," she said.};

You can use different delimiters depending on what you need to quote. These 
are brutally handy when you don't want to fiddle with escaping literal 
quotes. See 'perldoc perlop' for more info.
