Your Fix, I think
perl -e 'while(<>){s/DIR=\.\/DIR=\.\.\/marc2006_qa/;print $_;}' /yourfile > NEWFILE
You can call this in a shell script or run it right on the commandline. I didn't test it but this should work.
The command reads like this:
Run PERL from the command line: "perl -e"
Read each line one at a time: "while (<>)"
Substitute where you find DIR=. and replace it with DIR=../marc2006_qa
, (using g for all or NO g for the first occurance) to replace. print each line: "{s/:/ /; print $_;}'
The file your using as input: "/yourfile"
The change is not made to the input file, it must be printed out to a new file: " > NEWFILE "

setusershell
getusershell(3C) Standard C Library Functions getusershell(3C)
NAME
getusershell, setusershell, endusershell - get legal user shells
SYNOPSIS
#include <unistd.h>
char *getusershell(void);
void setusershell(void);
void endusershell(void);
DESCRIPTION
The getusershell() function returns a pointer to a legal user shell as defined by the system manager in the file /etc/shells. If
/etc/shells does not exist, the following locations of the standard system shells are used in its place:
/bin/bash /bin/csh
/bin/jsh /bin/ksh
/bin/pfcsh /bin/pfksh
/bin/pfsh /bin/sh
/bin/tcsh /bin/zsh
/sbin/jsh /sbin/pfsh
/sbin/sh /usr/bin/bash
/usr/bin/csh /usr/bin/jsh
/usr/bin/ksh /usr/bin/pfcsh
/usr/bin/pfksh /usr/bin/pfsh
/usr/bin/sh /usr/bin/tcsh
/usr/bin/zsh /usr/xpg4/bin/sh
The getusershell() function opens the file /etc/shells, if it exists, and returns the next entry in the list of shells.
The setusershell() function rewinds the file or the list.
The endusershell() function closes the file, frees any memory used by getusershell() and setusershell(), and rewinds the file /etc/shells.
RETURN VALUES
The getusershell() function returns a null pointer on EOF.
BUGS
All information is contained in memory that may be freed with a call to endusershell(), so it must be copied if it is to be saved.
