in thread Perl appending \ or / based on windows or linux

That's

my %separators = ( linux => '/', MSWin32 => '\\', darwin => '/', );

There's other possible values, but the script could be restricted to run on only the "supported" platforms via

die "This script doesn't yet run on $^O\n" unless $separators{$^O};
