The description of the \Q metacharacter is confusing to novices
The perlre man page talks about "quoting" metacharacters. This may
not be the easiest terminology for novice perl programmers to
understand. Also this man page seems to downplay the utility
of the quotemeta() function and \Q escape sequence compared
to the older idiom of s/(\W)/\\$1/g
Maybe text similar to the changes below would be clearer.
