Reply to the list, not to me.

No need for quoting quaziness in the options file. get_iplayer (via 
perl) reads the options file directly.  You can fleetingly pretend 
you're free from the shackles of 1981's hottest operating system:

command perl -e "($new = $old = shift) =~ s/\-+\././; rename $old, $new" 
"<filename>"
