Why not use tr!!! instead of tr///? It'll read more easily. Or even:
tr{ /&-}
{_sad};
> 5 $new_name =~ tr/ \/&-<>/_sadlg/;
You didn't read the docs on tr///. The - character serves as a character
range generator. tr/0-9// is like tr/0123456789//, and tr/a-e// is like
tr/abcde//. The - is safe when at the beginning or end of a tr///, or
when backslashed or when after a character seen as the end of a range:
tr/-aeiou//;
tr/aeiou-//;
tr/a-z-//;
So, the solution is to \ the -, or put it somewhere else.
tr{ /&<>-}
{_salgd};
or
tr! /&\-<>!_sadlg!;
