    <p>You have asked a question that has multiple answers. To just put a backslash in to form a Windows path, you need to escape the backslash thus, and this will solve your direct problem:</p> <pre><code>system($v1 . "\\" . $bin . " " . $trinp); </code></pre> <p>However, there are a few refinements. Firstly, you can use Perl's interpolation to make it easier to read:</p> <pre><code>system("$v1\\$bin $trinp"); </code></pre> <p>You can also use Unix-style forward slashes, as Windows understands these, and prevents so-called "backslashitis":</p> <pre><code>system("$v1/$bin $trinp"); </code></pre> <p>A better way however is to use <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~kwilliams/Path-Class-0.32/README.pod" rel="nofollow">Path::Class</a> to generate paths on any operating system.</p> <p>Further, there is a potential security problem in your code that can be caused if $trinp (or any of the other variables) contains shell metacharacters such as <code>|</code> to pipe into another command. If you provide a list of arguments to the system() function, it will pass those directly to the command instead of the shell. You will probably also want to check if the command was successful, and do something useful (e.g. die()ing) if it failed:</p> <pre><code>system("$vi/$bin", $trinp) == 0 or die "Couldn't run $vi/$bin: $!"; </code></pre> <p>I'll leave it as an exercise for you to convert my final example to use Path::Class.</p> <p>[Edited to correct misuse use of system(), which returns the status of the command that was run which is zero for success. I confused it with more common other Perl functions which return nonzero for success.]</p>

    1. COIt is not correct to use `or die` with `system`. The return value for failure is not false, it is `the exit status of the program as returned by the "wait" call`, according to perldoc.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
