Split it into components, ltrim all zeros and put it back together.
Or a smart regexp:
s/0*(\d+)\/0*(\d+)\/0*(\d+)/$1.'/'.$2.'/'.$3/e
maybe with the slashes escaped in the second part.

Or, instead of using backticks (which isn't bad):Mind you, I haven't tested that, and its been a couple months since I've done RegEx in Perl. It should look for a zero at the beginning of the string, or a slash zero and delete them (replace them with nothing).
