Amen, halleluja, preach it brother!

Just to repeat: knowing the path separator is almost never useful toward
the end of producing portable code.  File::Spec most likely does whatever
you need without knowing it.  And further, even if you wanted to write
portable code that way, you couldn't do it: VMS doesn't have the same
notion of path separators that Mac and Unix have.  You would wind up just
reimplementing File::Spec itself.  :-)
