With the // or ?? delimiters the m at the beginning is optional. That was true until about 8 years ago. Now: In the past, the leading `m` in `m?PATTERN?` was optional, but omitting it would produce a deprecation warning. As of v5.22.0, omitting it produces a syntax error. If you encounter this construct in older code, you can just add `m`. Typo fix	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I guess it's time to switch to a modern Perl? That seems to be gone in Perl 5.26, though I failed to spot it in perldelta.	[reply]

Support for ?PATTERN? without explicit operator has been removed (bit it's 5.22). `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l]
