Hi gurus!

I want to use the quantifier {COUNT}? in the following program to remove the first 
three underscores. I'm trying to avoid a loop. I have not been able to figure out the 
syntax.

$a = "The_quick_brown_fox_jumped_over_the_lazy_dog.";
$count = "3";

$a =~ s/(_{$count}?)//;

print "\n$a\n";

Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

/Mark
