You really should NOT be complicating the process with
this Old School Tie Aproach of
	perldoc File::Spec

hence the sort of insti-auto-majik code re-usability
across the various OS's, including VMS and 'mac classic'
and OS2 and.... At which point I think that Ideologically
I would be forced to assert the part john started with
but require the canonical
        foreach my $seqfilename (@files)
        {
                my $file = File::Spec->catfile($folder, $seqfilename);
                open(TXTFILE, "<$file") or die "a horrid death here because: $!\n";
                ....
        }
But I would like to thank those who have shared which side
of the line the "\" v. "/" issues are on the Win32 side.
