Thanks. I see those in perlop and perlfunc. In perlfunc, it is grouped as "Regular expressions and pattern matching" though that man page just points to perlop. A really clear description in perlre would help, since the other modifiers are already there and they belong all together. The two s/// modifiers, /e and /r, should be at least named in that group at least as one-line summaries.
