Forget what I said about context. From the perldocs:
s/PATTERN/REPLACEMENT/egimosx
Searches a string for a pattern, and if found,
replaces that pattern with the replacement text and
returns the number of substitutions made. Otherwise
it returns false (specifically, the empty string).
I was thinking about the m// operator where there's a difference between
scalar and list context...
