It's good that you are using Strawberry Perl.

Why do you have four backslashes here and then two? (Note that they are
escaped, so
it's twice as that)? In Perl, a backslash is a backslash, even when it
is interpolated. So you can just do something like:
my $BS = "\\";
my $d = "$BS${BS}mach${BS}dir";
That may be the source of part of your problem.
