Re: Is any simple way to get the current direcoty name?

Note: Bad answer about using $ENV{PWD} removed (instead of using my whiteout).

Use Cwd.

The problem with $ENV{PWD} is that it doesn't stay "linked." i.e. `print $ENV{PWD},"\n"; chdir("..") print $ENV{PWD},"\n";` [download] will print the same thing twice, which is probably not what you want. (If you use Cwd and ask it to override chdir, it will automatically keep $ENV{PWD} in sync with the actual current working directory, but by default it is not kept in sync). --JAS	[reply] [d/l]
