ActiveState Perl: Forward or Backward Slash?by saintmike (Vicar) |

saintmike has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:
The latest versions of ActiveState Perl (5.8.6+) on Win32 have this strange ambiguity between using slashes or backslashes in path names.
For example, calling in a module will result in $file holding something like C:/perl/Mytest.pm (note: forward slashes) while a call to will return (note: backslashes). This is quite confusing. I guess that either sticking to backslashes or slashes would be OK, but mixing them is definitely wrong. Anyone know where to complain about this?
