The Special variable $^O is always equal to the OS type the script is running
on. So something like:
if($^O eq "WIN32")
{
$seperator = "\";
}
else
{
$seperator = "/";
}
It mightn't be "WIN32", I don't have a windows box to find that out, more's
the pity. Try printing it out first to find out, then use the if.
