Nelly,
I strongly recommend to use File::Spec for this task ... and here is a example:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use File::Spec;
print "File::Spec::VERSION ", $File::Spec::VERSION, "\n";

# looking for our scripts directory
my $fullprogram = $0;
my (undef,undef,$program) = File::Spec->splitpath( $fullprogram );

print $fullprogram, "\n";
print $program, "\n";

# looking for current position
my $cur_dir = File::Spec->curdir();
print $cur_dir, "\n";

my $abs_path = File::Spec->rel2abs( $cur_dir ) ;
print $abs_path, "\n";

I assume You want your current path and NOT you currently executing program.
