MODERN_PERL

  Modern Perl, this ain't:
  my code uses $&

  And worse: $' and $`
                                     For my purposes,
                                     I don't care:
  If you'd like to modernize,        it's a throwaway
  using perl 5.10, there's           run that does
  a new modifier, /p.                not persist.

  From perlop, using /p will:

  "preserve a copy of the matched
  string so that ${^PREMATCH}, ${^MATCH},
  ${^POSTMATCH} will be defined."

  Also see the documentation for @-
  in perlvar, if you like typesetter
  sneezes.
