The problem here
$dir =~ s/\///g;
is that the two characters you are dealing with have special meaning. The
/ is interpreted as a quote delimiter because you are using s///. The
strings inside of s/// are interpolated, so the \ is interpreted as an
escape character. Try escaping both characters, i.e. use \\ and \/.
$dir =~ s/\\/\//g;
You can clean this up a bit with different quote delimiters, e.g.
$dir =~ s!\\!/!g
