Re: perldoc of s///ee wrong or just misleading?

Substitution	Expression evaluated for each match	If the operator was implemented as a function
s/pat/repl/	qq/repl/	subst($_, qr/pat/, sub { qq/repl/ })
s/pat/repl/e	repl	subst($_, qr/pat/, sub { repl })
s/pat/repl/ee	eval(repl)	subst($_, qr/pat/, sub { eval(repl) })

In both of the last two cases, repl is evaluated as a scalar expression and its result is expected to be a string.

The docs are incorrect or confusing.

Not sure, do you mean string eval?

I don't understand the question — neither the whole nor any part of what I said can be replaced by "string eval" and still make sense — but I did say what I meant to say.
