I think this needs a backslash in front of the symbol, and a space
after in_marker, i.e. it should be:
{ $appendline =~ s/in_marker/\sp/;
Isn't the replacement part of a substitution is still a string?
Having the replacement

Nope, you can't tell without the surrounding context:
(7) + 0;# numeric

So, you expect 7.pow(2) to work? I'd expect it to be an error (this

So parens really do provide grouping, not list constructing. Thus, this
