in thread undocumented tr special behavior for single-quoted transform

Thank you for pointing out what I missed. My only remaining concern is this phrase at the top of that section:

Interpolation

The next step is interpolation in the text obtained, which is now delimiter-independent. ...

I think this should say "delimiter-dependent".

    Well personally I consider the perldocs to be quite messy.

    Everything is documented, but you need to be an expert to find it and cope with various styles of various authors from various eras.

    For instance I only found this part by searching for the string tr'.

    (But I knew that delimiter ' has special meanings for various operators)
