Hrm. I would normally suggest running $msg->finish(), but in this case, I
believe that the $status->finish() should handle it. You may also want to
look at M::SA->check_message_text().

For the current 3.x series it should work. We could definitely change things
in the future, but then we'll have to make check_message_text work or
otherwise get rid of it.

Right. 'q' is meant exactly to use, in example, " and ' characters in strings with no escaping mechanism.
There are few exceptions to this trick (i.e.: you end a "q[" with "]", not "["), but more or less you're right.

Thanks Giampaolo! Does this mean that "whatever character you like"
cannot show up anywhere else in the string (except the very end)?
Thanks!

No, it isn't. It means "QUOTE" and allows you to quote a string with whatever character you like.
Actually, I believe perl itself is a typo...

Sorry for the Perl question.
Is the "q" in "(q@This is a programmer's ...@)" a typo?

I'm embedding this is C, so I have a level of C string escaping I have
to deal with too, besides not being a Perl programmer.
And, that's the crux of the original problem and question.

You can use any quoting mechanism you like:
...("This is a programmer's ...")
...(q@This is a programmer's ...@)
etc.

Well, SA won't help you with general Perl quoting, just so we're clear this
isn't SA specific. You could read the string into a variable then pass the
variable, or use one of the above methods, or something like:
$variable = <<EOF;
This is a programmer's ...
blah
foo bar
EOF
...check_message_text($variable);

Theo,
I'd prefer to use M::SA->check_message_text(), but if I do a
M::SA->check_message_text('This is a programmer's nightmare.'), then
M::SA->check_message_text() will choke because of the (') in the middle
of the string. How do I properly get around this problem?
Also, M::SA->check_message_text('This too\') is a problem too because of
the (\) escapes the final ('), as does M::SA->check_message_text('This
too\\\').
Any ideas on the best way to handle this?
Joe
