Anywhere you use the system() function to call an executable, you must use
backslashes. This includes any path information you are passing as
parameters.
Remember to double up on the backslashes when in quotes ( i.e.
"c:\\imail\\imail1.exe")
Everywhere else in Perl, feel free to use the forward (unix like) slashes.
