This is correct. May I add to this one:

The forward slash is a legal directory separator in Windows NT just as well
as \ is. Only the command line interpreter, cmd.exe is the program that
requires the backward slash to be used. You can call CreateFile Win32 system
API function with a file name formatted with forward slashes. You can even
mix back and forward slahes in a file name.

>From this upwards everything can use the forward slash in the calling chain.
fopen implemented in the C stabdard library calling WIN32 system CreateFile,
and up File::Copy Perl module calling most probably fopen.

Peter
