>What does Python or Java provide that qr// does not? I guess you're right, you can consider qr// to be an function which takes a string argument and returns a compiled regular expression. It is not just a means of quoting as q// or qw// are. I would still prefer to separate the quoting mechanism from the operation performed, having an ordinary function regexp_compile() which just takes a scalar.
