Take a look at Path::Class, which is built on top of the venerable File::Spec and provides a much cleaner style of programming when dealing with file and directory manipulation, things like building directory paths out of individual component directories, making a relative directory (../../foo) absolute (/path/to/foo) and more.

This distribution has a very good function-oriented interface in File::Spec::Functions, and I use that heavily.

Cwd and File::Spec are very useful modules to perform operations with paths and filenames in a portable way.

Warning, this version will install, but then you'll get the error, no strlcpy in linux el4, check the bug list, use 3.2501 instead.

One of the standard libraries in the perl tool belt, File::Spec is what you will want to use to chop up and concatenate paths portably. Don't assume forward slashes will just work everywhere and paste stuff together by hand, use File::Spec. Very useful module.
