    Ehm ... does this demonstrate any diff between @1 and @5 ?

    The results are the same for me.

      Exactly! But there is no *main::5 on QM's list, as you already pointed out.

        I noticed this list in the past, when playing around with the debugger.

        But actually it's meaningless, cause all match vars are undeclared 

        perl -e 'print ">",exists $main::{1},"<\n"'

        So most of these stash entries are just artifacts of the debugger's initialization and $5 was just never reached.
