Nope, that's normal for Perl.  (\ is magical in Perl and C... for some
reason DOS liked the backslashes which makes "\n" and other things suck
in languages that came from the Unix world...)

Many C compilers do the same thing, making "/" the directory seperator
instead of "\" to make programmers brains not explode.  If it didn't,
it would need to escape each of those \'s to \\ to make sure they were
handled right... and that would be.. painful.
