It is both the 1st and the 6th backslash in perlop (my version, of course, can't speak for yours). Symbolic Unary Operators ..... Unary "\" creates a reference to whatever follows it. See perlreftut and perlref. Do not confuse this behavior with the behavior of back- slash within a string, although both forms do convey the notion of pro- tecting the next thing from interpolation.
