I think both in sed and perl you can use any symbols you wish to delineate
the RegEx. # works, but / is traditionally used in Perl.
That is to say, in Perl these two lines are the same:
$in =~ s/C:\\Dir 1\\Dir 2\\Dir with more spaces/replacement/;
$in =~ s#C:\\Dir 1\\Dir 2\\Dir with more spaces#re

How about providing the code that you are working with?
This ought to work:
s/C:\\Dir 1\\Dir 2\\Dir with more spaces/replacement/
__CODE__
$in = 'C:\Dir 1\Dir 2\Dir with more spaces';
$in =~ s/C:\\Dir 1\\Dir 2\\Dir with more spaces/replacement/;
print "$in\n";
__OUTPUT__
replacement
