how do I replace "(P)" with "(paper

[Anon]

I can't get my perl script to work. How do I replace (P) with (paperback)? Right now I have:
$bookTitle =~ s/(P)/paperback/;
but it won't work. The titles of books appear in this format:
"History of Prague (P)"
and I want it to say:
"History of Prague (paperback)"

I can't figure out how to use the "escape slashes \" so that Perl will treat (P) as something to replace. Right now, the way I have it, it changes all the "p's" so that it errantly displays:
"History of paperbackrague (paperback)"

ugh

Thanks!

I can do it in PHP:

// variable $text contains the text with
// (P) in it:
$text = ereg_replace("(P)", "(paperback)", $text);

// now any occurance of (P) was replaced
// with (paperback).

hope that helps.

Yes that works for PHP, but perl uses other stuff.

Thank you anyway
