Matching a literal # in a rule

Hello, How can you match a literal "#" in a rule? \# or only \x{23}? S05 seems clear "# now always introduces a comment", and \# is not listed in the escapes. But then Perl 5 has \# so I assume it's just an omission... Brad -- A person who knows but a little will put on and air of knowledge
