Re^3: What is the meaning of this line in Perl on linux?

No. The above line is a syntax error and Perl tells you so.

Maybe you want to learn about Perl quoting rules for strings? The backslash \ is special in Perl strings and is used to mark the next character as exempt from the quoting rules. See Quote-and-Quote-like-Operators, especially the section about Escape Sequences. There it explains why you need to write \\ when you want to match a single \ in a regular expression.

No. The above line is a syntax error and Perl tells you so. At first glance I thought so too, but it's actually not - it's just `s{\\\/}{}g`. LTS strikes again `:-)`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
