I have a string that may contain backslash and forward slash. I have to search this substring in a string and if found I have to replace the substring with the substring in double quotes. Following is the code snippet which I am using. Let me know if this could be done in much neat way. 
1 my $sting = "this is my sting with \ and /slashes. put substing in q
+uotes";
2 my $substring = "with \ and /slashes";

3 $substing =~ s/\\/\\\\/g;
4 $string =~ s/$substring/\"$substring\"/gi;
5 $string =~ s/\\\\/\\/g;

I dont want to use line 3 and 5 of my code.

Please let me know better way to do this.

Thanks,
Rapunzel
