Bill, thank you for your explanation, it greatly helps. I follow what you are saying, can you please expand on how "tr" counts the remaining slashes and how the printf is being used. This would help me actually learn this content and not just simply use it because I am told. Thanks

... how "tr" counts the remaining slashes ...

Please see discussion of tr/// operator in Quote-Like Operators section of perlop. In particular, please see examples 2-4 in Examples sub-section.
