[lug] Perl question (off os)

man perlop.  it's really simple:

m// is an operator.
s/// is one too.
y/// is the same as tr///
q// quotes.

and so on.  perl will only warn about things that are built-ins, so
things like "c" won't complain about being auto-quoted (which is one
way to describe the LHS of =>, or the alpha+alphanumeric conents of a
hash index value.)

i thought this warning went away after 5.00404 or so.  is 5.6 still
warning?  my copy of 5.005_03 isn't warning on that.
