in reply to qr/string/ is not the same as qr/$var/ ?

This is not regular expressions problem, nor qr problem. If you try foo.pl as: 
my $foo = shift;
print $foo,"\n";

[download]
and do 
[ambs@eremita tmp]$ perl foo.pl 'fo\o'
fo\o

[download]
I know I didn't answer your question. Basically, it seems program arguments are quoted. Can't say why.
