Shell with single quotes.  That means they can't be used inside.  (An ugly way
around that is C<'\''>, which ends a string, blackslashes a quote and starts
another.)  For literal quotes use C<$q(uote)>.  For quoting use double quotes
or C<q{}>.

I<Shell and Perl, unlike most other languages, don't make you stick your toe
up your nose to get newlines into strings.  So, long "one-liners" are spread
very naturally to legible many-liners.  You get more features on the L<pl
homepage|https://perl1liner.sourceforge.io/>, like in the veggie-burger menu,
you can toggle many-line display.  In normal text short and long name variants
are initial-bold as C<X(YZ)>.  All examples use the long names, if applicable.
On the homepage those are in the darker blue upper half.  They are repeated with the short variant.  Many examples are followed by their output, indented with C<< > >>.>

Many of perl's options are also available in pl, sometimes enhanced with extra
functionality.  And the new options complement what perl offers, specifically
oriented towards one liners.
