in thread standard library to return system paths

You can install it from CPAN or bundle it with your application/distribution.

Other than that, there is no standard library for such stuff. That's what CPAN is for.

    Hi,

    be aware there is a difference between the system library path and the perl module path.

    Perl always knows where it's modules are installed.

    On your shell:

    perl -V

    The output on linux could look like this:

    @INC:
    /usr/lib/perl5/...
    /usr/lib64/perl5/...

    [download]

    If you can install CPAN modules, you can use them.

    As I understand File::BaseDir (you refer to it in your question) is also not an core module, so someone installed it. Maybe the result of File::BaseDir on the windows machine is empty because it's not installed there.
