title: String concatenation in Perl
body: <p>I'm trying to concatenate this string in Perl: "/.hush_profile";</p>
  
  <p>I keep getting a problem when I add in "/" into the string. I've tried escaping it, but that won't work either.</p>
  
  <p>Here's my line of problem code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#!/usr/bin/perl -w
  use strict;
  my($fileloc, $home_dir);
  
  $home_dir = $ENV{"HOME"};
  $fileloc = $home_dir;
  $fileloc .= "/.hush_profile";
  </code></pre>
