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.
