don't use $1, use named captures or list assignment. qr/\$\d+/ is a oneliner thing or a code smell.

  It's not a smell if you are doing an asston of text munging. Rather than write one ginormo regex I prefer a sequence of short actions. It's easier to debug and reason with.

    Use named captures or list assignment. $1 $2 etc are already a code smell in Perl 5. Action-at-a-distance is the enemy.

      That's needlessly verbose if I am descoping $1 within a line or two. I agree one must be careful.
