Some would suggest the use of the FindBin module. It does the right

Actually, I wish more modules were as "buggy" as FindBin ;-)
I.e. that they would work robustly for all of the common usage
cases and document exactly the cases in which they'd fail, like
http://search.cpan.org/~rgarcia/perl-5.10.0/lib/FindBin.pm#KNOWN_ISSUES
Ever tried to use FindBin in a program that is run under mod_perl?
I believe that FindBin->again() allows it to work under mod_perl, now.
Hmm... Considering the OP's goal to make it work on various platforms
with, supposedly, various Perl versions, it wouldn't be very wise to
rely on the new again() method. But now I notice the tip in the FindBin
docs to simply reload FindBin to make it work under mod_perl.
Maybe I have unnecessarily discouraged the OP from making use of
FindBin, after all. OTOH, the solution he seems to have chosen should be
a decent one as well.
