I tried a few combinations of "." and "\."; I then took a look at the output.

1.
SAMPLECONF = $(sysconfdir)/cupsd\.conf\.CSW
 | perl -ane ' $F[1] = "cswcpsampleconf" if ( $F[2] =~
m(^/etc/opt/csw/cupsd\.conf\\.CSW$) );

Doesn't work.

2.
SAMPLECONF = $(sysconfdir)/cupsd.conf.CSW
| perl -ane ' $F[1] = "cswcpsampleconf" if ( $F[2] =~
m(^/etc/opt/csw/cupsd.conf\.CSW$) );

Does work (the class is being set).

It doesn't seem quite right. If the value of SAMPLECONF is a regex,
there should be no later backslash additions. If it's not a regex,
backslashes should be added to all the dots (or other special
characters).
