I am using Win XP, IIS 5.1, and ActiveState perl.

i am using the module Mail::Transport::Dbx to read my outlook express database files.
$dbx = Mail::Transport::Dbx->new("C:\Documents and Settings\Matt Burke\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\{B8B7364E-E3DC-4D98-A292-7AA47DB9B6CE}\Microsoft\Outlook Express\Deleted Items.dbx");

i get ths error from the command line:
Unrecognized escape \D passed through at parse.pl line 9.
Unrecognized escape \M passed through at parse.pl line 9.
Unrecognized escape \A passed through at parse.pl line 9.
Unrecognized escape \I passed through at parse.pl line 9.
Unrecognized escape \M passed through at parse.pl line 9.
Unrecognized escape \O passed through at parse.pl line 9.
Unrecognized escape \D passed through at parse.pl line 9.
Dbx file operation failed (open or close) at parse.pl line 9.

and this error from the web server:
The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers. The headers it did return are:

Dbx file operation failed (open or close) at c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mail_parse\parse.pl line 11.

any suggestions?
