The \x26 is a hex escape for & which Windows uses to alert users to the
menu selection key.
Why I used \x26 instead of just saying & in that particular example text
string probably exceeds the bounds of your curiosity.... it has to do
with other tools I use that scan the source code looking for &, and
which aren't really smart enough at parsing Perl to figure out if an &
is in a comment or a string or whatever.

Thanks, that worked. One question though, just because I am curious:
What does the 'x26' do?

Is it possible to change the text on a menu? I want to change a menu
item from "Refresh workgroups" to "Refresh clients" depending on what
view they are currently at. I am already keeping track of the view I
just need to change the menu text.
$m_config->{'sGetDataDir'}->Change( -text =>
"\x26reset data directory ($datadir)" );
Your menu object will be different than mine ($m_config), and your
menu item will be different than mine (sGetDataDir), and the text you
want to display will be different than mine ("\x26reset data directory
($datadir)", but this should give you the idea.

And here is why it is ridiculous:
The division that includes Windows posted an operating profit of $2.26
billion on revenue of $2.81 billion.

So that's profit of over 400% of investment... with a bit more
investment in Windows technology, particularly in the area of
reliability, the profit percentage might go down, but so might the bugs
and security problems? Seems like it would be a reasonable tradeoff.
WalMart earnings are 3.4% of investment.
