I guess the backshlashes aren't gone, but when you output them via [+ +]
Embperl removes them. Set $escmode = 7, to tell Embperl not to tread
backslahses as escapes. To get the filename without directory you can use
use File::Basename ;
$file = basename ($fdat{imageName}) ;
There are other solution which were already mentioned
