Hmm. On second thought there is a problem. These variables should be listed under perlvar. As should $1 up. That would place all of the variables that have special meaning in one place and would reduce the possibility of this type of error. (Well assuming RTFM ;-) I will send a perlbug report out today on this issue. Maybe itll be factored into 5.8? UPDATE: DOH! $1 and the regex vars _are_ documented under perlvar. By bad. UPDATE: A documentation enhancement request has been sent to the perlbug people...
