In a move to simplify porting of scripts (and save the sanity of Windows Perl coders), ActiveState made it so that the "/" path separator works on Windows too, and is converted internally. We don't have to think about it. And it's easier than trying to remember to escape backslashes, too. :-) So the solution proposed will work fine on Unix, Windows, MacOSX, etc. Just FYI.
