Re: [SLUG] perl substitution of metacharacter

; I would still use sed to do it, in particular from a shell script which may

; Sed is much quicker to load than perl.

the only problem being that sed doesn't cope with NULs, I'm talking 
about sed in general, not a particular version of GNU sed either, so
don't bother. I'm with you though, I tend to use sed instead where I
can.
