Hi,
perl -e "print qq(Hello\n)" works fine for me.
What does not work is : perl -e 'print qq(Hello\n)'

Hi !!!
For me the line work here:
C:\>perl -e "print qq(Hello\n)" Hello
C:\>perl -e"print qq(Hello\n)" Hello
Can it be that you type it wrong? Or check your perl version
C:\>perl -v

Thank you. your methods work fine.
I do wonder ... I have seen and tried command line perl code examples from this mailing list that did not have quotes for print statements.
On my computer they did not work.. Is this specific to Windows XP and ActivePerl? Or was it untested code?
PS: using single quote around the perl code fails...need to use double quotes.

I am unable to execute a statement like -- perl -e '<perl code>' -- I always get this response: Can't find string terminator "'" anywhere before EOF at -e line 1.
From the command line, use " " to quote your code and qq() or q() as quotes inside your code:
c:\>perl -e"print qq(Hello\n)"
