s§3(456)7§§$1§x;
For whatever reason, Perl is treating those character as an 'opening'
delimiter[0], so that when you write s¶3(456)7¶$1¶;, you are telling Perl
that the regex part is delimited by '¶'s, but the substitution part is
delimited by '$'s (think of something like s{}//;).
Hopefully someone here will be able to enlighten us both further.
$ perl -e's¶3(456)7¶¶$1¶x;'
Unrecognized character \xB6 in column 14 at -e line 1.
$ perl -Mutf8 -e's¶3(456)7¶¶$1¶x;'
You have to tell perl to use UTF-8. Add this line to the top of your
script(s):
use utf8;
See `perldoc utf8` for more details.

Confusion is the first step of understanding.
Programming is as much about organization and communication
as it is about coding.
The secret to great software: Fail early & often.
Eliminate software piracy: use only FLOSS.
