    I know that typically the "%" character is for mod functionality.  In some powershell scripts I've come across, I've noticed % being used after the | character and I can't seem to find what the syntax means.

    For example. "$old | % { Remove-Item $_.SPBackupDirectory -Recurse }"   I can't figure out what | % is doing.....  is it a shorthand foreach expression?

    Yes, it is a shortcut notation or alias for ForEach-Object:

    PS > get-alias -definition foreach-object

CommandType     Name                                                Definition
-----------     ----                                                ----------
Alias           %                                                   ForEach-Object
Alias           foreach                                             ForEach-Object


    The above only works with PowerShell v2.  V1 doesn't support the -Definition parameter.

    Also this is math operator: division with a reminder. When percent sign is placed after pipeline sign "|" — it always threated as Foreach-Object alias. In all other cases it is threated as math operator.
