Yes, I hesitated to call them functions, but as they (qq, etcetera) are listed in perlfunc, I did ;-)

Re^2: qq "function" or operator

    They are also listed in perlop and are operators since they have a precedence and special parsing at compile time.

    The confusion stems from Perl's DWIM approach of redundant documentation.

    from perlfunc#Perl-Functions-by-Category

    Here are Perl's functions (including things that look like functions , like some keywords and named operators )
