Yes.

If "/" is the delimiter then the initial `m' is
optional. With the `m' you can use any pair of
non-alphanumeric, non-whitespace characters as
delimiters. This is particularly useful for
matching path names that contain "/", to avoid LTS
(leaning toothpick syndrome). If "?" is the
delimiter, then the match-only-once rule of `?PAT�
TERN?' applies. If "'" is the delimiter, no
interpolation is performed on the PATTERN.

Any non-alphanumeric, non-whitespace delimiter may
replace the slashes. If single quotes are used,
no interpretation is done on the replacement
string (the `/e' modifier overrides this, how�
ever). Unlike Perl 4, Perl 5 treats backticks as
normal delimiters; the replacement text is not
evaluated as a command. If the PATTERN is delim�
ited by bracketing quotes, the REPLACEMENT has its
own pair of quotes, which may or may not be brack�
eting quotes, e.g., `s(foo)(bar)' or
`s<foo>/bar/'.
This applies to all the quote and quote-like operators (m//, s///, q//,
qq//, qw//, qr//, and qx//) and the transliteration operators (tr/// and
y///.)
