What is the difference between single (') and double (") quote in a string in perl?

Answer Posted / Ankit Agarwal

In Perl, single quotes (`''`) preserve all whitespace and special characters as-is, while double quotes (`""`) interpret variables and some special characters. For example:

```perl
my $single = 'Hello, World!'; # A string with no interpretation
my $double = "Hello, World!"; # A string with interpreted variables
