`tr/\xe9/FIX/d` is the same as `tr/\xE9/F/` and convert chr(0xE9) to "F". `tr/\00233/FIX/d` is the same as `tr/3\002/IF/` and converts chr(002) to "F" and "3" to "I". What am I doing wrong? What are you trying to do? You previously alluded that you wanted to remove "é" characters that were encoded as E9. `perl -i -pe 'tr/\xE9//d' yourprogram.pl` [download] But the "FIX" in the new code seems to indicate you want something else.
