Try $frage_text =~ s/\"/\\"/g; I think it will work better this way.

I use the following directive to fill an HTML form: <input type="text" name="frage_text" size="100" value="$frage_text" /> Unfortunately, if $frage_text contains a double quote, the browser will stop displaying the string at that point. I tried to escape the quotes in a Perl way $frage_text =~ s/"/\\"/g; but that did not help. Any suggestion is appreciated.
