Ok, that's wierd, that says it only works with unix filepaths (forward
slashes), yet I've just confirmed that using backslashes does work on
my machine.
I won't loose sleep about it though, as long as non-unix platforms
will work with forward slashes, that's fine.

What about the idea of using "File::Spec->updir()" to replace the ".." though?

maybe,
use lib sprintf "%s/%s/lib", $FindBin::Bin, File::Spec->updir();
