File::Spec is a standard module and comes with Perl. For a list of standard modules, see perldoc perlmodlib

If your code is going to be run on a different machine than your development one, using standard modules means you don't have to distribute and maintain additional code (the modules).

    Unless you work on a RedHat based Linux distribution where you need to install the perl-PathTools package. Installing perl-Path-Tiny is comparably complex.
