Hi,
I'm unable to detect the correct windows path in the below code.
Can anyone suggest me how many '\' that I need to add it in the path to make it works ?
Is there any better modules to tackle the path issues in windows ? 

#!C:\perl\bin\perl


use strict;
use warnings;

my %typehash = (
            
            'tomcat' =>  '\\d\$\\logs\\tomcat',
          'tomcatweb' => '\\d\$\\logs\\web',
          'apache' => '\\d\$\\logs\\Apache'
           );

    
sub getLog { 
        my ($a,$type)=@_;
        my $server=$a;
        my $dir =  "\\\\$server".$typehash{$type};
        print "\n $dir ";
        chomp(my $meh = `dir /b /O:D $dir`);
        print $meh;
        
} 

&getLog("test.control.com",'tomcat');
