> -e "C:\Users" resolves to a false value

Are you sure you used exactly this syntax? No wonder the file doesn't exist:

perl -wE "say qq<C:\Users>"
C:SERS
[download]

\U in double quotes uppercases the following letters up to \E or end of the string.

map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

Hi choroba, yes, you are correct, and in my actual code I did include the backslash escape character before the backslash path separator character (i.e. a double backslash) but did not have it in the code example that I typed in. I have updated my post to use single quotes rather than double quotes in that particular spot. Thanks for spotting that.	[reply]
