m// is written with a regexp between the slashes and returns true (1) if the regexp matches the string in an internal variable. Or if one writes "$a =~ m/foo/" where $a is a string variable then if $a contains "foo" and "foo" is a regexp the statement will return 1.
s/// is a substitution operator which works similarly but substitutes the string between the second and third slash for the regexp between the first and second slashes. This is an oversimplification of what they do because they have modifiers etc. but I assume there is a way of matching or substituting regexps in Unicon.
