The reason is you escaped the space in $MyLoc but not in /House 98/.
If you escape the space in /House 98/ (IE /House\ 98/) like you did in $MyLoc it will 
probably work.
Likewise if you Unescape $MyLoc (IE my $MyLoc = "d:/00Common Perl/";
                                                                              ^ no 
slash here)
It will probably fail.
