I have a snippet of code that doesn't seem to be working because of needing to change directories. In order to keep the program portable I don't want to specify the entire directory, just Current Directory -> Desired directory. The code is below, I've tried 'use Cwd;' and had no luck. Any help is appreciated although I'm sure the answer is very simple. 
sub save{
print "Please specify a file name: ";
chomp(my $file=uc<STDIN>);
chomp(my $cwd =  `pwd`);
open ($file, "$cwd//Pandoras Box//>>$file.txt\n") || die "Could not sa
+ve file: $!\n";
print $file "cont\n" || die "Could not write to file: $!\n";
print "File has been saved to Pandora's Box successfully!\n\n" || die 
+"Write fail: $!\n";
}
