None. The "m" just allows you to use a different delimiter.
These all mean the same:
$test =~ /regexp/;
$test =~ m/regexp/;
$test =~ m(regexp);
$test =~ m#regexp#;
This is the same "issue" as with single quotes and q operator:
$str = 'hello';
$str = q(hello);
$str = q-hello-;
doublequote and qq :
$str = "hello";
$str = qq(hello);
$str = qq-hello-;
backtick and qx :
$str = `dir`;
$str = qx(dir);
$str = qx-dir-;
You can use any delimiter with s/// as well:
$str =~ s/regexp/replacement/;
$str =~ s(regexp)(replacement);
$str =~ s(regexp)<replacement>;
$str =~ s#regexp#replacement#;

I can't find it.
