q operator in Perl can be used in place of single quotes. It uses a set of parentheses to surround the string.
Syntax: q (string) Returns: a single-quoted string.
Note: Any set of delimiters can be used, not just the parentheses. Example 1: Perl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

# Passing string to q operator
print(q(Geeks For Geeks));
Output:
Geeks For Geeks
Example 2: Perl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

# Defining an Integer variable
$var = 25;

# Passing string and variable to 
# the q operator 
print(q(Welcome to GFG, $var));
Output:
Welcome to GFG, $var
