File::Spec equivalent?

Dumb question: does Ruby have an equivalent to the Perl File::Spec module
(maybe as a built-in part of the File class like Java, instead of in
a separate module) for building and manipulating pathnames portably?

I can't remember File::Spec right off the top of my head, but does
the standard pathname module meet your needs?
