Braces are usually metacharacters in regexes, used to specify a number of repetitions or as part of an escape sequence. If this interpretation is not possible then Perl currently treats them as literal characters.
Perl 5.28 has deprecated the literal interpretation of left braces, and Perl 5.32 will remove it (resulting in a fatal error). Escape all left braces that are treated as literal characters. Also escape literal right braces, for consistency and to avoid confusing bracket-matching in text editors.
