perlre(1) seems to be missing information about substitution evaluations
with the /e option. The functionality is present in perl:
perl -e '$_=2; s/2/1+3/e; print'
But it is not listed in the pod documentation for v5.16.3 or v5.18.1.
The modifier /e is described in "Programming Perl", 4th ed, pp 186,
254-255.
Where should suggestions for corrections be sent?
Could something like the text below be added?
Regards,

$ diff perlre.pod perlre.pod.orig

< Treat the replacement portion as an interpreted expression.
< Each additional C</e> modifier after the first functions as an eval()
around the code to execute.
