No, but it doesn't hurt either. If you look at the quotemeta operation
(see `perldoc -f quotemeta`) its output would escape the bang. The
quotemeta operator is the same as using \Q (ending with \E) inside a
match.
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
my $s = '';
for ( 0x20 .. 0x7e ){
$s .= chr( $_ );
}
print "$s\n";
my $q = quotemeta( $s );
print "$q\n";
