=head1 ABSTRACT
Allow variables in a tr///. At present the only way to do a tr/$foo/$bar/
is to wrap it up in an eval. I dont like using evals for this sort of thing.
=head1 DESCRIPTION
Suggested syntax: tr/$foo/$bar/e
With a /e, tr will expand both the LHS and RHS of the translate function.
Either or both could be variables. I am suggesting /e as it is sort of like
/e for s///e.
=head1 IMPLENTATION
No idea, but should be straight forward.
