Re^2: Current Directory in Windows

The "current directory" is not really defined when you start a program via double-clicking.

Actually it always appears to be %userprofile%

so says http://live.sysinternals.com/procexp.exe

The OP seems confused by about what cwd means, seems OP wants the directory where .exe is located, meaning

BEGIN { 
    use File::Spec;
    use File::Basename qw' dirname ';
    our $thisf = File::Spec->rel2abs(__FILE__);
    $thisf ||= File::Spec->rel2abs( $0 );
    our $thisd = dirname($thisf);
}
