This line is generating the problem. '\' is not a valid directory
separator undef Unix. You should use File::Spec:
my @list_of_db_files = map File::Spec->catfile("db", $_), qw(ECO NIC Opening);
Or something.
This produces the list ('db/ECO','db/NIC','db/Opening') under Linux,
which is correct.
Note that '/' will work as a path separator for Windows, too; it's only
command.com (and it's decendants) that are tied to '\' as a path
separator.
