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.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

if you use `qw{ }` would that not correct it for qw? Grygonos	[reply] [d/l]
