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.
