This seems to be the crux of whether you feel comfortable using s/// rather than something else. Unfortunately, I don't know the answer with complete and absolute certainty. \w is defined as anything that is a perl identifier. But it won't see special variables, like $@, and such. But I don't think you have to worry about that for method names or subroutine names or whatever. I think they'll always be \w+ There's screwy variable names in perl, but I can't think of any screwy subroutine or method names. So, I *think* you'll be safe.
