All your examples are about $999, which is a special variable for regexps. Neither $00 nor $0 has any relation to regexp, so behaviour is predictably different. Not a big deal, actually. I accept the point that my usage of perl is often non-common, with lots of non-standard approaches, so no-one else uses $00, so dropping $00 support is ok.
