quotemeta
- quotemeta EXPR
- quotemeta
Returns the value of EXPR with all non-"word"
characters backslashed. (That is, all characters not matching
/[A-Za-z_0-9]/
will be preceded by a backslash in the
returned string, regardless of any locale settings.)
This is the internal function implementing
the \Q
escape in double-quoted strings.
If EXPR is omitted, uses $_
.
