"\" {slash} is one of the special {reserved} characters like "." , ";" ,
and many others.
All these special {reserved} characters need the "\" symbol to process it
to be able to be viewed
www.hostingelmira.com\testdir\test.html
would equal
www\.hostingelmira\.com\\testdir\\test\.html
Check your Perl manual
It should have a routine to convert
text with these special characters to text with the
"\" {slash} added.
I know PHP has it, so Perl should have it too.
If you want, I will look for the string conversion routine
in my Perl documentation.
