+A string regexp argument is always treated as a the source of the regexp, making C<like $text, $rx> and C<like $text, qr[$rx]> equivalent to each other and to C<cmp_ok $text, '=~', $rx> (and likewise for C<unlike>).

 It also tests in scalar context, so C<'..'> will be treated as the flip-flop operator and not the range operator.
