I agree. The surprise was just in the context that a v-string is not autoquoted. So in my eyes, the behaviour with the v-string is not the same as with constants (and other subs) which makes me think that the v-string behaviour really is a bug.

    The concensus on p5p seems to be that it's recognized as a bug. But to fix this (and some other v-string strangeness) isn't easy, as v-strings live on the point where the tokenizer, the parser and the magic system meet.

    It's where the dragons live.
