As usual, there's a wide choice of ways to do this ;-) A couple of ways of converting slashes to letters 'q':
Method one: backslash s/\//q/g Method two: cool s/// syntax s|/|q|g s(/)(q)g s{/}{q}g You don't have to use slashes in s/// -- take a look at 'man perlop'. Update: Are you sure you don't want to take a look at Date::Manip and Date::Format? There's a nice parseDate function in the former ;-) And one more s/// that probably does exactly what you want, in one pass: s{(\d\d)/(\d\d)/(\d\d\d\d)\s+(\d\d):(\d\d):(\d\d)}{$1$2$3$4$5$6} -mk
