Good. You said it so I don't have to.
>what you want is s/[-.]//g;
When I see a construct such as that (s/[...]//g), I often suggest using
tr/
ehm, that's really not what you want...
see, [] is already a character CLASS.. which means 'any character between these
braces' - in short, an implied OR.
for example:
kane@outcast> perl -e '$_=q[-a|b.c];s/[-|\.]//g;print'
abc
kane@outcast>
as you can see, the | symbol ALSO got removed..

Thank you everyone! Works like a charm!
