Yeah - I don't like 'em much either. But I used to keep doing things like:

system 'copy somefile ../subfolder/somefile';

and then even single backslashes are no good if I:

system "copy somefile ..\subfolder\somefile";

so I sometimes tend to use double backslashes and then I don't have to think
about anything .... except whether I'm on Linux or Windows (and I'm usually
not sufficiently mindful of that, either :-)

Yes.
