You can either escape the " with a backslash...

  print "like \"this\"...";

but that gets to look REALLY ugly, REALLY fast.  So use a different
quoting operator instead:

  print "<a href='http://www.foo.com/'>xyz</a>";
  print '<a href="http://www.foo.com/";>xyz</a>';    # no variables here
  print qq{<a href="http://www.foo.com/";>xyz</a>};  # qq is double quotes
  print q{<a href="http://www.foo.com/";>xyz</a>};   # q is single quotes

perldoc perlop, look for "Quote and Quote-like Operators".
