No, it does not work outside of double quotes. This is documented. The actual reason for this is that it is very hard to parse Perl code. I could have used `code => sub { s/\$!/'Unknown error'/g }`, but guess what that would have done with `print q!$$!;`. I worked around this by making a feature out of this lack of feature. To learn about the details, please read the documentation. You have approximately 70 hours left before it is deleted from CPAN.

Oh, backpan is okay. It is not the place where people go to find solutions. Backpan is a mess per definition, with all those old versions :) Juerd - http://juerd.nl/ - spamcollector_perlmonks@juerd.nl (do not use).	[reply]
