Mason::Plugin::QuoteFilters - Filters for making quoted strings

=head1 VERSION

version 0.002

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This plugin provides some filter sugar for quoting strings in Mason template
output.

Say you have a Perl variable, $bar, that you need to inject into some
JavaScript.  Currently you would write:

    var foo = '<% $bar %>';

which this author thinks is ugly because the quotes get lost in the syntax.  It
also has a tendency to throw off syntax highlighters.

Instead, using this filter you could write:

    var foo = <% $bar |Q %>;

and get the same end result.

=head1 FILTERS

=over

=item Q

Single quote a string.  Any embedded single quotes are escaped with backslashes.
