Thanks. But that won't solve the problem, because getcwd() only tells you the cwd of the current drive, not of any of the other drives.

      Perfect!

      O.k., that's half the solution. Is there a symmetric "chddir" as well? chdir doesn't seem to do it.

        Depends on what you consider symetric.

        To change the current drive without changing the current dir on that drive: 

        chdir('C:');

        To change the current dir of a drive without changing the current drive: 

        my $drive = substr(getcwd(), 0, 2);
chdir('C:\\');
chdir($drive);
