Are you sure about this double forward-slash thing? You have to use
double-backslash to represent a single backslash character (because the C
programming language uses backslash a special 'escape' character - e.g. '\r'
indicates carriage return), but the same is not true of the forward slash
character.

For example, print "\\test\\" would display "\test\"
            print "//test//" would display "//test//"

Just another incentive to use forward slashes instead of backslashes in
pathnames. :-)
