Yeah unfortunately the Windows command line doesn't treat ' as quote characters, so the whole thing would need to be inside double-quotes, and the perl strings within would need to be a different quoting syntax like qq{...}. The Windows command line is much less useful for one-liners than Bash. This is yet another good argument for Cygwin, since cygwin provides a fully unix-compatible terminal window.

If you already have code written for Strawberry, though, switching to cygwin perl means you have to check all your usage paths to make sure they are forward-slashes.
