I don't think these should be changed. Here's how I tend to pronouce
things:

  $x = 'foo';   # "x gets foo"
  /bar/;        # "match on bar"
  $x =~ /baz/;  # "x gets matched on baz"

C<=~> is a special case of "getting" something, where the something in
question is an action instead of an expression. This symmetry should
be kept.
