Re: [MacPerl] Unexpected behavior from tr function

[ntyson@mail.thesquare.com]

Richard,

$_ is a reserved statement in Perl signifying an input line character.  
For example,

   while (<>) {
        $line = $_;  # each line will have the value of $_
        print "$line\n";
   }

  In order for it to be interpreted as a literal string, you must escape it with a backslash.
