Hi! I think the title says it all. I've just started perl, searched and googled around like crazy, but I am not able to do what I need to. So, the problem is basically this one. I have a text which is in this format:

<    <    PU-------------
doc    doc    S-NN-----------
id    id    S-MN-----------
=    =    X--------------
"    "    PU-------------
[download]

and I need to clean this up and make it look like this:

</</PU  doc/doc/S-NN  id/id/S-MN    =/=/X    "/"/PU
[download]

I basically need something that replaces any TAB with a / char, and get rid of all that ------------ crappy lines. I've been suggested to use perl and regex, but I have no idea on how to do that. Maybe isn't even difficult, but I can't come up with anything.
Every suggestion will be very appreciated.
Thanks
