Sorry I'm too tired now, I'll check tomorrow.

Multiple levels of escaping are often kind of brainf*ck.

this escape_metas can also be used with a character class [METAS] for with multiple metas.

exactly, as I said, it depends what the intended behavior is.

FWIW

my intention was to implement a sub tri = "transliterate interpolated" which allowed to write tri($input,$left,$right) and implemented $input =~ tr/LEFT/RIGHT/ while sticking close to tr's behaviour but without breaking.

I'll try again tomorrow. after GPW. :)
