This is one of those silly moments when I can't remember a simple trick, and I'm too cotton-pickin' lazy to dig through all my Perl books to find it. I'm maintaining some old DOS code that has pathed Linux filenames suffering from LTS. you know... \/usr\/local\/fardle\/whang\/dang\/doodle\/etc..... I know there's a way to eliminate all that \/ stuff, but I can't think of it to save my life. I'll gladly accept a Gibbs head-slap (for all you fellow NCIS fans out there), if it's accompanied by the solution. Thanks!
