Hi,
  Can any one please tell me what this pattern means  "  s|.*/||  ".

Is it that '|' represents '/'. Please reply me soon. Thanks in advance

Hello Ramesh,

In your example "|" is used as the delimiter instead of the general "/" delimiter since the pattern to match contains a "/".

For example

perl -le '$string="Hello /World"; $string =~  s|.*/|| ;print $string;'

will print  World as output.
