Embperl doesn't use them in any way.
But they are local, so you have to use them in the same block or assign them
to a variable first.
BTW $&, $`, $' are very expensive in Perl, it's better to use $1 $2 etc. or
assign them directly into a list e.g.
[$ if ($pre, $match, $post) = $word =~
/^(.*?)(bill)(.*?)$/i $]
[+ $pre +]<b>[+ $match +]</b>[+ $post +]
[$ else $]
[+ "$word " +]
[$ endif $]
