As far as I remember, perl will dwym if you use forward slashes as file delimiters.

    Not entirely true though. Whether a bug or not, the ActiveState Perl 5.8 under Windows does not interprete the path delimiter in qx/ / or ` ` correctly if you use the unix forward slashes (/) and you will get run-time errors. There was a discussion on this particular issue last month.

      if you use qw{ } would that not correct it for qw?
