You could escape them. That usualy works for me.
Example:
$dir= "\/\/ITC\/home\/techs";
Yes I know how sloppy that looks, but if it works and doesnt matter, why worry bout it?
you should quote things like they will be printed. it increases readability.
if you use $dir = qq(WITC/home/techs) instead, it's easier to see what your doing. escaping them, you have to think about what it's doing. seeing is always faster/easier than thinking, and it goes a long way in adding to the readability of your code.
