$separator = '\\' if ($^O =~ /Win/);

I actually thought about this, but I was not sure if the separator char is different for the different unix shells, ie: between csh and sh. I don't even want to think about zsh and other less common ones. data	[reply]

It's not; the seperator between directories is / on all unix systems. The shell is irrelevant.	[reply]
