[ID 20000315.013] Bug, or Feature?

perlbug,
	Any idea if this is a bug, or a feature? :

bash-2.03$ perl -e '$r = q~\\~; print $r,"\n";'
\

The Variable $r is set to the string '\\' using the non interpolating
quotes q~~. However, partial interpolation occurs, but only on the
character sequence '\\'. 

bash-2.03$ perl -v
 
This is perl, version 5.005_03 built for sun4-solaris
