    Try this :
    Code:
    open ULFILE, ">$upload_dir/$filename";
    
    binmode ULFILE;
    
    while ( <$upload_filehandle> )
    {
      $_ =~ s/\\//g;
      
      print ULFILE;
    }
    
    close ULFILE;
    Replace variables accordingly...

    Well, try this out :

    Code:
    find -name "*.html" -type f | while read file
    do 
      awk '{ gsub( /\\/, "/" ); print }' $file > $file.$$
      mv $file.$$ $file
    done
    Hope this works...
