Hello nysus,

Glad $ENV{PWD} is working for you, but it doesn’t work for me on Windows:

15:51 >perl -wE "say $ENV{PWD};"
Use of uninitialized value in say at -e line 1.


15:51 >

On the other hand, Cwd::getcwd() [or Cwd::cwd()] works fine for me, and is a more portable solution.

I tried using `getcwd()` to get the current working directory where the script was called from but it is returning undefined.

Was your call to the remote script something like this?

printf "\n%s\n", `perl remote_dir/remote_script.pl`;

If so, you’ll get undefined because backticks in list context returns a list (of lines; see perlop#Quote-Like-Operators). In scalar context it works as expected:

printf "\n%s\n", scalar `perl 1984_SoPW/remote.pl`;

Hope that helps,
