Did a little searching and came up with this to replace the above 2 lines :

       for /F "usebackq" %%i in (`perl find_dir.pl %1`) do cd %%i

Cheers - that does the trick. I was trying to look for a way of putting the result of a command into a variable.

A slight refinement I found I needed - the above version stumbled on
files involving spaces ...
   for /F "usebackq delims=,"   ....... as before
I am assuming the "," is not a valid character in a filename.

Thanks again for the very useful hint.
