File::Spec provides a convenient interface to constructing directory names and filenames and it works in many operating systems:

$path = File::Spec->catfile( @directories, $filename );

In the present case it would go like this:

use Modern::Perl qw/2017/;
use File::Spec;
my $directory_name = 'testdir';
my $path =
  File::Spec->catfile( qw/C: Users darkblack Desktop A/, $directory_na
+me );
say $path;
[download]

Output (in Windows): C:\Users\darkblack\Desktop\A\testdir

But running under Unix it will return C:/Users/darkblack/Desktop/A/testdir

File::Spec::Functions provides an even easier functional interface.

A program should be light and agile, its subroutines connected like a string of pearls. The spirit and intent of the program should be retained throughout. There should be neither too little or too much, neither needless loops nor useless variables, neither lack of structure nor overwhelming rigidity." - The Tao of Programming, 4.1 - Geoffrey James

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
