Slightly OT, but does anyone know how to pass an empty string to a script
via the command line?  I have a script that is invoked via:

   rename match-str replace-str <list of files>

.... where the rename script does an s/match-str/replace-str/g on the
filenames (variables evaluated, of course; the script already works).

Sometimes I'd like to simply delete the match string, but I'm having
trouble passing an empty string as the replace string.  Unix seems to just
ignore pairs of single or double quotes.  Any suggestions?

TIA.
