Also note:

^ matches the beginning of the string, so ^\/
will only match a / at the beginning of the
string (not the first occurence of /)

that's probably what he meant... but what he
asked for was how to replace the first '/' in $a

if you have $a=abc/def, the regex ^/
will not replace the first / in your string,
which was my point :-)
