10/31   I've got a file full of names of mp3 files that I want to delete.
        Problem is that many are contain ', (, ), and other unlikeable
        characters that make it hard to feed to a bash for loop or a
        perl script.  Is there any (perl?) function to autoescape that
        sort of thing?  tia.
        \_ Why not run the file through sed?
        \_ perl -lne unlink filename.txt  --dbushong
