We don't do any expansions on the paths, which are plain perl
strings/scalars.  If perl has a means of doing shell-like
expansions on strings like this, we can add it simply enough.
But there may be annoying quoting issues (since in the shell
you can do the appropriate escaping, whereas here it's
treated as verbatim).

Roger
