Hi guys,
I received a bug report about 'perldoc' (from the perl distribution) failing 
because it has '#!perl' at the top. script_exec in dosexec.c turns 'perl' 
into 'c:\djgpp\bin/perl.exe' (depending on your installation of course).

If I change script_exec to change backslashes to forward slashes before 
calling the selected spawn function, perldoc gets 'c:/djgpp/bin/perl.exe' and 
everything works. Would a patch to do this conversion be welcome or, as Eli 
likes to say, am I missing something?

Mark
