I am trying to group some common subroutines into a module. As I use

like /var/path/to/dir and h:\home\dir equally well.

I know that perl will treat h:/home the same as h:\home but I imagine
that there is more to making a module portable than simply s!\/!\\!
all paths.

Hello,

See "perldoc File::Basename",this is a Perl builtin module that would do what you required.

You have also to check File::Spec. It has functions to deal with those problems.
