This is a bug report for perl from jarich@perltraining.com.au,
generated with the help of perlbug 1.39 running under perl 5.16.2.


-----------------------------------------------------------------
G'day folk,

Thank you again for all the awesomeness.  I was discussing /r with
a friend today and they asked to see documentation.  I can't find
it mentioned anywhere in perldoc perlre (although it is in perlrequick).

I checked the documentation for 5.18.0 too, and couldn't find it in 
perlre there, either.

This seems like an accidental omission.

Thanks!

     Jacinta
