You can change the / to most punctuation marks, but you have to be 
careful with some characters that are interpreted by the shell.  To do 
that enclose in single quotes.  Good characters are pipe (|), at (@), 
semi-colon ";", or colon (:).  You change because you have a slash in 
the pattern or replacement and don't want to make an ugly, hard to read 
sequence with backslashes escaping a lot of characters.
