Or by ending the range of ' and packing the literal ' into
double quotes:

  perl -e 'print '"'"'$ and a'"'"' '

consisting of these quotation pieces

  'print '
  "'"
  '$ and a'
  "'"
  ' '

If there was no $ in the text, one could do it more simply by
packing the whole text into double quotes:

  perl -e "print '$ and a' "


Have a nice day :)
