[Koha-devel] Perl syntax for strings

[Fridolin SOMERS]

Hi,

I see in Perl code some cases where a string in written with a space 
between q or qq or qw and string.
Like : qq /foo bar/ instead of qq/foo bar/

It works, but I dont find it in docs like 
https://perldoc.perl.org/perlop#Quote-Like-Operators

Most of cases are in :
   use CGI qw ( -utf8 );

There are only 29 other cases :
   git grep -E ' q[qw]? [/({]' | grep -v 'use CGI qw '

Should we add a coding guideline ?
https://wiki.koha-community.org/wiki/Coding_Guidelines

I must admint for me it would be better to avoid it because it breaks 
syntax coloring in my editor (Eclipse with EPIC).
But maybe other have the same issue.

Best regards,
