Re: Text Processing

Double quotes interpolate backslashes, while single quotes don't, see perlop on Quote and Quote-like Operators. Also, you'll still be better off to correctly double the backslash, into C:\\cFiles, or, even better, avoid `dir /b $string` entirely and use the following:

use strict;
use File::Glob qw(bsd_glob);

my $string = "C:\\cFiles";
my $string = "C:/cFiles"; # works just as well here

my $list = join "\n", bsd_glob $string;
