Either are fine - or qw/REJECT/ or qq{REJECT} or q|REJECT|...

You could even go so far as to do something like

sub REJECT(); sub REJECT() { return "REJECT"; }
sub CONTINUE(); sub CONTINUE() { return "CONTINUE"; }

which would allow you to get away with a later
return (REJECT, "goaway");

but this is not to be recommended
