Which is precisely the meaning he wants for it, with $" set to '|'.

I wonder if we're not trying too hard. What if, inside regexes, $" is
always localized and set to '|'. What if we change the meaning of
"\Q@foo" so it only metaquotes the contents of the array, not of the
separator.

	@foo = ('a.b', 'a+b', 'a*b');
	$" = '|';
	print "\Q@foo";
-->
	a\.b\|a\+b\|a\*b

Hmm... We can't really use this result, can we?
