The forward slashes work for DOS executables only.
A useage like this: ls c:/temp/text.txt will fail.

Subject: quotes
Message-Id: <do7jvk$1ki$1@rainier.uits.indiana.edu>
I am "trying" to write a perl code to generate a file
with everybody's 'help'.
The output should be:
I am \myquote{trying} to write a perl code to generate a
file with everybody{\justquote}s \singlequote{help}.
I know I can handle double quotes, but I am puzzled about
single quote as you can see they may occur two different
ways.
Please help. .. Raghu

use strict;
use warnings;
print qq(I am "trying" to write a perl code to generate a file with
everybody's 'help'.);
