File::Spec is hard to use. I'm not even sure if the following is correct.

use File::Spec::Functions qw( catpath curdir splitpath );

my ($volume, $directories, $basename) = splitpath($qfn);
$directories = curdir() if !length($directories);
my $dirname = catpath($value, $directories, '');

say $dirname;
say $basename;
[download]

Path::Class is a wrapper around it.

use Path::Class qw( file );

my $file = file($qfn);
my $basename = $file->basename();
my $dirname  = $file->parent();

say $dirname;
say $basename;
[download]

File::Spec is hard to use.

Even worse, it is broken.
