That's not it.  single quotes return whatever's inside as-is, while
double quotes replace variables with their values (and other neat
stuff). So:
if $a = 1, $b = 2, $c = 3,
"$a $b $c" returns the string 1 2 3
'$a $b $b' returns the string $a $b $c

IIRC in C single quotes are for charachters, but it's not like that in Perl.

perl -e'$b=unpack"b*",pack"H*","59dfce2d6b1664d3b26cd9969503";
for(;$a<length$b;$a+=9){print+pack"b8",substr$b,$a,8;}'
