in thread simplifying substitution

I get this output from that command (I'm not on Windows):

Bareword found where operator expected at -e line 1, near "s/ /v/r"
Unquoted string "r" may clash with future reserved word at -e line 1.
Can't modify string in substitution (s///) at -e line 1, near "s/ /v/r
"
syntax error at -e line 1, near "s/ /v/r
"
Execution of -e aborted due to compilation errors.

When I check the version, I get this:

perl -v

This is perl 5, version 12, subversion 4 (v5.12.4) built for darwin-th
+read-multi-2level
(with 2 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail)

    OK, 5.12 doesn't have /r. So what about 
    perl -lwe '$v = qq( $]); $v =~ s/ /v/; print $v'

    map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

        See? Space works on the match side.

        map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]
