There are two ways (that I can think of off the top of my head) to make a regex case insensitive: the i option and using character classes: $dir =~ s/C:\\Dir 1\\Dir 2\\Dir with more spaces/$newpath/i; or $dir =~ s/C:\\[Dd][Ii][Rr] 1\\[Dd][Ii][Rr] 2\\[Dd][Ii][Rr] [Ww][Ii][Tt][Hh] [Mm][Oo][Rr][Ee] [Ss][Pp][Aa][Cc][Ee][Ss]/$newpath/; I don't understand why you would run sed. Perl can be run from the command line by hand as well. -- Chas.
