set path to './docs' and that did't work either.
This is NOT increasing my appreciation of PERL at ALL! :)
Any more takers? The install docs say the path to the text files should
be set to the "full path", so how do I put:

C:\phpdev\www\cgi-bin\docs

into this line:
my $datadir = " ./docs";
how do I escpae the windows '\' ?
