in thread How do I migrate a set of Unix scripts to Windows ActivePERL?

It complains that the string is not terminated. Touche (accent is assumed). So use forward slashes, even on windows and avoid that mess? :)

    Using forward slashes is a solution.

    Another is to always double backslashes as a reminder to yourself and (more importantly) co-workers that single quotes are not quite literal strings.

    Of course you could always just avoid Windows altogether...
