Your example code looks like what I usually use. I prefer File::Spec::Functions sometimes, but it seems workable to me.

    Ahhh, now that makes something presentable. 
    use File::Basename qw(dirname);
use File::Spec::Functions qw(rel2abs catdir updir);

print rel2abs(catdir( dirname(__FILE__), updir() ));

    Yeah, I was attempting to follow the suggested standard of not infecting the package namespace by using the OO version. However, the functional version of File::Spec really does make it easier to follow (IMO).
