PATCH: 're' pragma is lexically scoped since Perl 5.9.5

I've attached a trivial patch for fixing a minor inaccuracy in the
perldebguts documentation, which incorrectly claims that the 're'
pragma is not lexically scoped. I'm not sure whether to use "perl" or
"Perl" when referring to a Perl version.

Thanks
