Nothing personal, but -- Barf. Very non-perlish, IMHO.
qc( here's some text which will evaluate to "silent undef". );
Could be very much like qw(), in the sense that
% perl -w
qc{
once upon a time
# now for the clincher
happily ever after.
};
Possible attempt to put comments in qc() at - line 5.
One could use qw() or q() for this right now; but those result in
a value, which under some circumstances causes a warning issuance.
