-=head2 perl -P and // and HP-UX
-
-If HP-UX Perl is compiled with flags that will cause problems if the
--P flag of Perl (preprocess Perl code with the C preprocessor before
-perl sees it) is used. The problem is that C<//>, being a C++-style
-until-end-of-line comment, will disappear along with the remainder
-of the line. This means that common Perl constructs like
-
- s/foo//;
