in reply to backtick iterpolation issue

How do you populate $playListRow? Can you show it's contents through 
use Data::Dumper;
$Data::Dumper::Useqq = 1;
print Dumper($playListRow);

     $VAR1 = "\\/Volumes\\/public_files\\/music\\/The\\ Lexicon\\ Of\\ Love\\/4\\.Tears\\ Are\\ Not\\ Enough\\.mp3\\\r"; playlist row is just a line pulled from an itunes m3u file, though I filtered out the comments from the m3u file: 
    
open(my $fh2, '<:encoding(UTF-8)',$playlistName)
                or die "Could not open playlist file '$playlistName $!
+";
        while( my $playListRow = <$fh2>){
                chomp $playListRow;

                 if($playListRow =~  /^\s*#/){
                        next;}
                else{
                    # print "$playListRow\n";
                $playListRow = quotemeta($playListRow);
                my $lscom = "ls $playListRow 2>&1";

      Replace chomp with 
      $playListRow =~ tr/\xd\xa//d;

      It should remove all the newlines, CR/LF or LF style.
      Update: You might need to verify how file names containing newlines are represented in the list.
