escaping square brackets?

[Giles Constant <gilesc@ftech.net>]

******    message to minivend-users from Giles Constant <gilesc@ftech.net>     ******


SURELY this is in the faq?  (ok, I'll stop calling you Shirley:))

Sorry if this _is_ in the faq or the documentation, but after 4 hours of
looking I still haven't found it.

All I want is to have a regular expression involving square brackets
(basically the atom '[a-z]') and use this to control the flow of the
script, but I can't work out what the escape sequence or command to
achieve this is.

Failing that, I know I can call perl with "interpolate=0", but I want to
control an [if] statement with this, eg.  [if explicit][condition], but
then this will interpolate by default.

How would I put a single '[' into the html document anyway?
