in reply to Re^2: transliteration d flag not working as expected
in thread transliteration d flag not working as expected

Not sure if it's slower, 'tr///' doesn't allow variable interpolation.

Using it twice in a DRY way means putting the pattern into a variable which leads to eval :(

Because the transliteration table is built at compile time, ne +ither the SEARCHLIST nor the REPLACEMENTLIST are subjected to dou +ble quote interpolation. That means that if you want to use va +riables, you must use an eval():
