qq() operator in Perl can be used in place of double quotes. It uses a set of parentheses to surround the string.
Syntax: qq (string) Return: a double-quoted string
Note: Any set of delimiters can be used in place of the parentheses.   Example 1: Perl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

# Passing string to qq operator
print(qq(Welcome to GeeksForGeeks));
Output:
Welcome to GeeksForGeeks
  Example 2: Perl
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

# Defining an Integer variable
$var = 15;

# Passing string and variable to
# the qq operator
print(qq(GeeksforGeeks, $var));
Output:
GeeksforGeeks, 15
