I'm trying to test this myself on a string (rather than $_), but don't
understand how to use tr/// on $1 and then place the result back into the
string (practice only).
I tried a sort of nested expression similar to what you show
$string =~ s|{(.*?)}|{$1 =~ tr/iw/JX/)}|xg;
It's supposed to capture the text between curly brackets and then do a
transliteration (i-->J and x-->X)
but for: kdkdkiwiwdkdkdk {iwidkwidkw} kdkdkdwiwiwkdkdk {kdkdikdkddk}
I get: "kdkdkiwiwdkdkdk {iwidkwidkw =~ tr/iw/JX/} kdkdkdwiwiwkdkdk
{kdkdikdkddk =~ tr/iw/JX/}"
which seems to demonstrate that my nesting doesn't work and that I don't
know how to use tr/// :-(
