sort.exe on win2k

Hi,

I'm trying to use sort.exe called from a perl script. When I do this,
sort tries to make a file /tmp/sort0340800000 that it cannot open
because it is using forward slashes. I can use the -T (-T .) to set the
temp dir but it still uses the the forward slash. As in:

sort:  ./sort0340800000: No such file or directory

It works fine from the command line. Is there some interaction with
perl?

Is there any way around this?

Thanks,
