(I report this with perlbug for 5.004_04\, but I have verified it with 5.005_02)
The names of four of the special variables are output as the control characters in error messages\, rather than in the readable form '^X'.
% perl -e 'my $^I'
Can't use global $ in "my" at -e line 1.
% perl -e 'my $^J'
Can't use global $
in "my" at -e line 1.
% perl -e 'my $^M'
in "my" at -e line 1.
% perl -e 'my $^L'
Can't use global $
in "my" at -e line 1.
All the other control character variables are output with the name as '^X'
instead of the actual control character.
