in reply to extra options in tr///

For installed versions of perl that support them, look in perlop with perldoc perlop and you will find this in there. (you will find that the docs on-site are not from Perl 5.6):
PERLOP(1) User Contributed Perl Documentation PERLOP(1) Options: c Complement the SEARCHLIST. d Delete found but unreplaced characters. s Squash duplicate replaced characters. U Translate to/from UTF-8. C Translate to/from 8-bit char (octet).
