'..' is only meaningful in the Unix/Win32 world. VMS, RISC OS and
others call it something else. On the other hand, I think it's
safe to
assume that anyone using those platforms and perl will know what ..
means and if they don't I'm sure you'll document it.
For best or worse, Unix semantics are pretty common and have
contaminated many other things not related to filesystems. Think of
URL or XPath[1] for example.
