Take a look at http://www.perlmonks.org/?node_id=110030 TL;DR: Usually '/' works, but sometimes it doesn't. If we're already importing a bunch of stuff from File::Spec, it'd be nice to have a function to return this value, as sometimes you actually need to know this (e.g. for some regexes I'm writing, or for calls to system commands that don't correctly handle '/'). I'll willingly patch the appropriate modules for you if you point me to the correct process for doing stuff like that.
