You could use join

$newpath=join("\",@dirs);

or not use split in the first place and instead replace the slashes directly

$filepath=~s{/}{\\}g;

But note that usually when dealing with filepaths it is better not to manually munge but use the appropriate modules for that (see perldoc perlport and perldoc File::Spec for more).
