When does the structure get built?  That's why eg. tr[a-z][A-Z] 
brooks no variables, for it is solely at compile time that these
things occur, and why you must resort to delayed compilation via
eval qq/.../ to prod the compiler into building you a new one.o

Maybe you want qt/.../.../ or something.
