Considering that one must hold down the shift key for the
tilde character, coupled with the fact that the plus sign
character shares the same key as the equal sign character
... yes ;)
But, have you played with the results yet?
[prompt]$ perl -le 'print /RED/'
[prompt]$ perl -le 'print ~/RED/'
4294967295
[prompt]$ perl -le 'print hex("F"x8)'
4294967295
[prompt]$ perl -le '$_ = "REDIRECT"; print /RED/'
1
[prompt]$ perl -le '$_ = "REDIRECT"; print ~/RED/'
4294967294
[prompt]$ perl -le '$_ = "REDIRECT"; print 5+~/RED/'
4294967299
Gotta love Perl's flexibility! :D

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
