/e switch in s/// commands to treat replacement part as Perl expression. So, any Perl code can be there, and returning
value will be used to replace matching pattern. So, technically, it's just nested s/// , but you can do pretty anything.
For example, s/(\d+)/sqrt($1)/gex changes any number to its square root.
perldoc perlop has some examples of how s/// can be used.
