I think my problem was that I was using double and not single quotes around the hex color, actually. &nbsp;So you didn't really answer my question, AND your example syntax was incorrect, but I'll give you the points, since I asked such a dumb question.

How do I escape the pound sign (#) in Perl?<br />
<br />
If I try to enter HEX color values I always get an error, # is used for comment lines.<br />
<br />
Example:<br />
<br />
print &quot;&lt;FONT COLOR='#FFFFFF'&gt;&quot;<br />
<br />
That won't work for 100 different reasons.<br />

Thanks...

Escaping the pound sign?

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming languages with over 25 years of development. Perl 5 runs on over 100 platforms from portables to mainframes and is suitable for both rapid prototyping and large-scale development projects.  Perl gained widespread popularity as a Common Gateway Interface (CGI) scripting language, in part due to its regular expression and string parsing abilities. In addition to CGI, Perl is used for graphics programming, system administration, network programming, finance, bioinformatics, and other applications.
