Perl search and replace not working in csh script
I am using perl to perform a search and replace. It works at the command line, but not in the csh shell script

perl -pi -e 's@/Pattern@@g' $path/$file

I used the @ as my delimiter because the pattern contains "/"

sed version should work
Code:
sed 's/\/Pattern//g' $path/$file

It's odd, but sed worked for one pattern but not the other. technically it worked for the second pattern but not the first.
I checked the pattern and it is correct.
