With appropriate caveats on $| and $) (am I missing any other variable?).

Hmm... <fx:looks through perlop>
One place claims $| and $) are not interpolated (under m//), another place
(discussing interpolation with ?RE? /RE/ m/RE/ s/RE/foo/) talks about $| $(
$) and also discusses $var[SOMETHING] (array lookup vs. list of character
alternatives).

So, is $( interpolated or not? Apparently not -- but then it should be
mentioned in the first of the two places, too. I think I'll fire off a post
to perlfaq-suggestions or use perlbug.

Cheers,
Philip
