    "\\hydfs00\PUBLIC1\DEV\pkumar\ITT_TEST_BUILD\CS2.1_PROD_TEST_40550_LG_LC_Java_sp36_obfuscated" is a mistake:

    Unrecognized escape \P passed through at …
Unrecognized escape \D passed through at …
Unrecognized escape \p passed through at …
Unrecognized escape \I passed through at …
Unrecognized escape \C passed through at …

    It evaluates to \hydfs00PUBLIC1DEVpkumarITT_TEST_BUILDCS2.1_PROD_TEST_40550_LG_LC_Java_sp36_obfuscated.

    You want to single-quote the string in order to restrict backslash-escaping to backslashes and single quotes only. '\\hydfs00\PUBLIC1\DEV\pkumar\ITT_TEST_BUILD\CS2.1_PROD_TEST_40550_LG_LC_Java_sp36_obfuscated' evaluates to \hydfs00\PUBLIC1\DEV\pkumar\ITT_TEST_BUILD\CS2.1_PROD_TEST_40550_LG_LC_Java_sp36_obfuscated.

    Let’s properly escape the backslashes at the beginning so we get two backslashes. '\\\\hydfs00\PUBLIC1\DEV\pkumar\ITT_TEST_BUILD\CS2.1_PROD_TEST_40550_LG_LC_Java_sp36_obfuscated' evaluates to \\hydfs00\PUBLIC1\DEV\pkumar\ITT_TEST_BUILD\CS2.1_PROD_TEST_40550_LG_LC_Java_sp36_obfuscated. This is the string you intended.

    Now we can operate on the value.

    my $var = '\\\\hydfs00\PUBLIC1\DEV\pkumar\ITT_TEST_BUILD\CS2.1_PROD_TEST_40550_LG_LC_Java_sp36_obfuscated';
$var =~ s{ \\ }{/}gx; # replace any single backslash with a single slash
# $var now has the value
# //hydfs00/PUBLIC1/DEV/pkumar/ITT_TEST_BUILD/CS2.1_PROD_TEST_40550_LG_LC_Java_sp36_obfuscated

    This is all newbie stuff. Go learn the language, read a book or two.
