 s/regexp/replacement/
     Attempt to match regexp against the pattern space. If successful,
     replace that portion matched with replacement. The replacement may
     contain the special character & to refer to that portion of the pattern
     space which matched, and the special escapes \1 through \9 to refer to
     the corresponding matching sub-expressions in the regexp.

No mention of using a different separator, and I couldn't find any other 
reference either. I did look before asking.
