Printing "s in Perl

Sorry for the newbie question, but in a CGI script, if I want to print the "s (quotes) that is in the webpage, which character do I use to escape the "? Is it / or \ ?

Such questions should not be asked.

You yourself should find answers by using Perl one-liners and/or small scripts.

Ideally, you don't print the literal ", but the appropriate entity for " - " for example.

If you insist on printing ", use \ AND read

chapter "Quote and Quote‐like Operators" carefully.
