	I scarfed up a slew of php files that are around 100 bytes
	in strlen and with "\ " and other non-shell-friendly bytes.
	Is there a way to use perl to chop off the first N bytes?

	For example, a file many be named 00001\
	00002xyz\?00003=Test.php.  What's the most logical way to 
	perl this file to "Test.php?

	gary
