Quoting in bash aliases

[Kirk McElhearn]

The following command replaces Mac line breaks with Unix line breaks:

perl -pi -e 's/\r\n?/\n/g'

I'd like to make an alias in bash, something like:

alias rplc='perl -pi -e 's/\r\n?/\n/g''

But the above doesn't work. I assume it has something to do with quoting.
I've tried double-quotes, escaping the quotes in the perl string and more.

Can anyone tell me how this needs to be quoted to work correctly?

Thanks,
