I use a slight variation:

$buffer =~ tr/+/ /;
$buffer =~ s/%([a-fA-F0-9][a-fA-F0-9])/pack("C", hex($1))/eg;
$buffer =~ s/<!--(.|\n)*-->//g;
$buffer =~ s/<([^>]|\n)*>//g;

do this before the split statement.

The mac pathname delimiter is ":", not "/".  The easiest thing to do is
set an environment variable
and build pathnames based on its settings.
