Can this not be rewritten as
	ehost=$(echo $tuah | sed -e "s/1]:/1]/" -e "s/[][]//g")
But I admit that it looks like black magic without a comment...

This is problematic. On Windows, perl -i fails when no backup file extension is specified because perl attempts to replace a file that is still open; that does not work on Windows. This should work, but I haven't tested, yet:

	perl -pi.bak -e "s/CHANGE_ME/change_me/" file &&
