If you plan on using that directory as part of a filename, you could always give File::Spec a try. Not only will it do what you want by converting C:/windows to C:\windows, it helps you write portable code.
use File::Spec;
use strict;
use warnings;
my $dir = 'c:/temp';
my $file = 'tempfile';
my $path = File::Spec->catfile($dir, $file);
print $path, "\n";
Which will output C:\temp\tempfile

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
