BTW in Perl, when referring to a file on the system to read, write, execute, etc, you can use the normal Unix like path separator even in Windows. Another trick, by using 'single' quotes to stop interpolation of string contents, you don't need to \\ escape your slashes

# my $path = ("\"c:\\Program Files\\SecureFX\\sfxcl\""); my $notepad = 'c:/Windows/notepad.exe'; system $notepad, 'C:\Boot.ini';
