Hi.
I want to replace the String  %0A by nothing. I'm using this line:
   $description=~tr/%0A//;

But nothing change.

What is my problem ?

Try escaping the % symbol.

   $description=~tr/\%0A//;


See this link for an explanation.

tr is not what you want.  tr replaces characters with other characters.
You want s:

$desc =~ s/%0A//g;
