I tend to use Strawberry perl these days and would certainly recommend it. Regarding the file paths you mentioned, the double back slash is correct but also difficult to read. I change my windows scripts to use File::Spec paths whenever I have to revisit them. This makes paths portable and easy on the eye. I also find Test::Vars a useful tool for cleaning up code. It will find unused variables.
Good luck, Dermot.
