Neither did you show actual Perl code, nor did you describe how it did not work for you. This will perform the substitution you requested:
use strict;
use warnings;
my $path = 'c:\abc\xyz';
$path =~ s/\\/\\\\/g;
print $path;
__END__
c:\\abc\\xyz
The double quotes interpolate. If you use strict and warnings, you will get a warning message.
On a side note, when posting, just include code within code tags, not all of your text.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.

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).
