Just an idea, but I'd like to have a discussion about it: Instead of
using Perl for such new general helper modules, would it be nicer to use
Rust+perlmod?

If our long-term goal is to migrate the Proxmox VE Perl code to Rust,
then we need to switch these modules over at some point in any case (or
drop them after switching over all users of the modules). Are there good
reasons not to start out with Rust+perlmod already?

You state that you (also) took inspiration from Rust's `std::path` so
could we just use that itself, wrapping via perlmod? Or would the
wrapping be too ugly here or lead to performance issues?
