Perl Scripting Help: XChat 2 spam script

[osxdude]

I'm trying to write a spam script (don't ask why) but I'm getting a few errors from XChat. Now, this is a general perl script error, mind you. It is NOT directly from XChat.

Here is the problematic section of the script:

Xchat::command("getstr SPAM "timer -repeat 1000 0.01 msg $chan" "Enter the spam word:"");

XChat's perl plugin don't seem to accept the many quotatoins, and I need those quotations for the syntax to be correct.

Why are you trying to write a spam script?
