If my understanding of merlyn's book and or posts (I can no longer remember which, or even if it was merlyn); you use \1 on the "right hand part" of s///, and $1 on the "left hand part."

Uh, so for getting rid double words you'd use:
s/(\w+)\s+\1/$1/
Or something.

But then again, I could be horribly, horribly, wrong.
