state:barely used, and flawed; say: a pain to enable; /r: never seen the need.

say is enabled together with strict in use v5.12;, that replaces use strict;.
s///r is useful in map: @out=map { s/foo/bar/r } @in. Without /r, you need a helper variable: @out=map { my $x=$_; $x=~s/foo/bar/; $x } @in
I don't get it. What's wrong with state?
