Nope. Not at all. System transparency means not having to concern
yourself with the system or its quirks, which is what Perl provides in re
file access. Not because the '/' separator is 'nix, but because it is
more standard for file systems in general, inclucing URLs and URIs. Perl
will translate per system under the surface.
I'm not aware of Perl doing any translation of '/'. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong though. I believe this is why the the File::Spec modules are standard. '/' works on the majority of systems these days, but if you want true portability, I believe you want the earlier mentioned catfile().
