Forward slash appended to Path before filename	Can't Post

Hello,
I am a total newbie to perl but am required to used libraries provided by my new company. I set up the source folders in my path and PERL5LIB but whenever I try to run a programme I get messages like this:
C:\..\perl_libs\/GetParms.pm
with the / appended before the pm file.
Can anyone tell me how to fix this please. I tried search this forum but putting the \/ combination seems to mess up the search.
Thank you,
John

I have never seen this error. Lets try to narrow it down.
Store the attached programs in your path. Run them with the following commands.

Code

perl case_A.pl >Case_A.txt 
perl case_B.pl >Case_B.txt 
perl case_C.pl >Case_C.txt

Post the resulting txt files (and messages if any).

Case_A is "hello, world". -make sure perl works.

Case_B is the example from Getopt::Long module. -Make sure a system module loads.

Case_C prints your @INC array. Make sure directories are specified correctly.

Now try an equally simple experiment with your GetParms module. Post the code and all results.
Good Luck,
Bill

Hi Bill,
Many thanks for your response and help.
I have these results:

c:\Perl\bin>P:\Downloads\Code\Perl\case_A.pl
Hello, world

c:\Perl\bin>P:\Downloads\Code\Perl\case_B.pl

c:\Perl\bin>P:\Downloads\Code\Perl\case_C.pl
C:/Documents/toolsC:/perl_libsC:/Perl/site/lib.

PERL5LIB=C:/Documents/tools;C:/perl_libs;C:/Perl/site/lib

I have been playing around myself and in my original PERL5LIB I used \ rather than / and now I have changed this at least I am not getting the \/ issue but rather a boat load of others. Before I belabour you or any one else I will pursue a solution myself and return to this list if/when I fail.

Many thanks,
John
