I would like to suggest that the two substitution modifiers, /e and /r, be given brief summaries in the list of modifiers at the beginning of perlre(1). The other modifiers are already there and they belong all together.
The modifier /e is described in "Programming Perl", 4th ed, pp 186, 254-255. /r is mentioned on p 186. Where should suggestions for corrections be sent, is this the right list? Could something like the text below be added? Regards, /Lars $ diff perlre.pod perlre.pod.orig 124,134d123 < =item e < X</e> < < In a subsitution, treat the replacement portion as an interpreted expression. < Each additional C</e> modifier after the first functions as an eval() around the code to execute. < < =item r < X</r> < < In a substitution, return the replacement but leave the original string untouched. <
