if I understand correctly `Config{path_sep}` is relative to `%ENV`, ie what is the separator in the `$ENV{PATH}`, not path in the sense of directory path. `perl -MConfig -e "print $Config{path_sep}" ;` [download] L* There are no rules, there are no thumbs..

It's actually not that easy, but if this is for a known and limited set of operating systems, see here. If you need this to work on any OS, then it's really nontrivial! But see here for one idea.	[reply]

UPDATE: if i have not misunderstood your question (path intended as directory path not env path entry) `use File::Util qw( SL ); print SL;` [download] There are no rules, there are no thumbs.. Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.	[reply] [d/l]
