<plug>Why, what a perfect situation for Sub::Lexical</plug>
*Blush* I have meaning to check that out for a while... Ill have looksee when i get a minute. :-)
What situations do you find yourself using s///e? I can't say I've ever used it anything outside golf and obfu so where does it fit into your day-to-day coding?
I do a lot of data transformation type tasks. So it comes in useful quite regularly. Having said that I can't remember exactly where I used it last, but I do recall that I used it fairly recently.

• Update:
Heres an (untested) simplified example of where s///e comes in useful
$date=~s/^(\d+)-(\d+)-(\d+)$/sprintf('%04d/%02d/%02d',$1,$2,$3)/e
or die "Failed to normalize date...";

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.
