s/regexp/replacement/
Attempt to match regexp against the pattern space. If successful,
replace that portion matched with replacement. The replacement may
contain the special character & to refer to that portion of the pattern
space which matched, and the special escapes \1 through \9 to refer to
the corresponding matching sub-expressions in the regexp.
No mention of using a different separator, and I couldn't find any other
reference either. I did look before asking.
