I can explain that. "\x{3af}bc\x{3af}de" is is a string literal so it
gets encoded. however, my example in escaped form is;
$kana =~ tr/\xA4\xA1-\xA4\xF3/\xA5\xA1-\xA5\xF3/
which does not get encoded. the intention was;
$kana =~ tr/\x{3041}-\x{3093}/\x{30a1}-\x{30f3}/
That's why
eval qq{ $kana =~ tr/\xA4\xA1-\xA4\xF3/\xA5\xA1-\xA5\xF3/ }
works because \xA4\xA1-\xA4\xF3 and \xA5\xA1-\xA5\xF3 are converted. to
\x{3041}-\x{3093} and \x{30a1}-\x{30f3}, respectively.
