Essentially, no, it does not work. But in some cases it might. :-) In
require/do (not use, since use takes a package name, not a path), a "/" is
accepted as a path separator. But this causes more confusion than it is
worth to tell anyone, so forget I am telling it to you. Just go on
believing you cannot use "/" as a path separator in MacPerl and you will be
just fine.
Note, however, that "./" to mean current directory never works.
