This is true I guess. Or at least my cfgcache.pm says:
$cfg{'plat'} = q'win32';

In what way would Win2000 be different from other Win32-systems? And how
can I verify this?
If you mean in terms of path name specification, I've never had any problem
there with forward slashes when using perl of LaTeX. They just work. The
manpage perlfaq5 states the following about path names: "Either
single-quote your strings, or (preferably) use forward slashes. Since all
DOS and Windows versions since something like MS-DOS 2.0 or so have treated
/ and \ the same in a path, you might as well use the one that doesn't
clash with Perl"
Of course, the forward slash is still used as the option specifier for
command line programs (e.g. "dir /a" as equivalent of "ls -a"). This makes
it impossible to do something like
dir part1/*.*
since the "*.*" is considered an option.

Here's what I get:

It *is* able to locate the file (as opposed to what you say in the above).
It claims:
texexpand: %--- found .\part1/beginning.tex
and the contents of beginning.tex is used in the resulting HTML. However it
also comes up with a non-existant part named "1" (as it saying in its
output "using '1' as the argument instead; is this correct?") starting with
the text "/beginning.tex#" and containing everything that the real part
should have contained.

I'll just give you the contents of these files, since I don't understand
how LaTeX2HTML works internally.
This is doc/TMP/doc:
\documentclass{report}
\begin{document}
\part{History of the world}
%%% TEXEXPAND: INCLUDED FILE MARKER .\part1/beginning.tex
\chapter{In the beginning...}
\section{Hello world}%%% TEXEXPAND: END FILE .\part1/beginning.tex
\end{document}
This is doc/TMP/part_001.tex:
\documentclass<<1>>report<<1>>
\begin<<4>>tex2html_deferred<<4>>\par\end<<5>>tex2html_deferred<<5>>
\begin<<2>>document<<2>>
\part<<3>>History of the world<<3>>
\begin<<6>>tex2html_deferred<<6>>\par\end<<7>>tex2html_deferred<<7>>
This is doc/TMP/part_002.tex
<tex2html_file>#.\part1/beginning.tex#
\chapter<<8>>In the beginning...<<8>>
\section<<9>>Hello world<<9>>
<tex2html_endfile>#.\part1/beginning.tex#

I hope the extra material I have provided here can help you. The
cfgcache.pm file contains the following directory-delimiter: $cfg{'dd'} =
q'\\';

Thanks for helping me out,
