Great. A relevant point. How about: $url =~ s/^www\.//; There is one case I know of though, where the elimination of the www. prefix would make a substantial difference. At http://www.efn.org you get a standard web page for a public ISP. Use http://efn.org you get a Java applet that mediates a telnet session. Such cases are rare, though.
