That is my question exactly.... /c : Hello pattern1, you look mighty nice
today in all your cryptic obscurity.

Actually this goes back to my initial question about this:

$name =~ tr/a-zA-Z0-9-_ .,:;'&$#@!*()?-//cd;

What is happening here exactly and what precisely does the /c do in this
statement?  I've had a couple of answers that I do not understand and thus
far I've been told that /c "complements" the SearchPattern.  OK

So my question is (drumroll) : Do I take it to mean that /c also adds the
negative values of the given SearchPattern to the SearchPattern?  Otherwise,
what is the "complement of /a-z/ if not /-(a-z)/ ?

Thanks,
Mark
