No, it's one command.
DOS:
>cd
E:\
>cd c:
C:\Work
>cd c:new
>cd
E:\
>cd c:
C:\Work\New
Perl equivalent:
print(getdcwd(), "\n"); # cd -> E:\
print(getdcwd('c:'), "\n"); # cd c: -> C:\Work
{ # cd c:new
my $drive = substr(getcwd(), 0, 2);
chdir('c:new');
chdir($drive);
}
print(getdcwd(), "\n"); # cd -> E:\
print(getdcwd('c:'), "\n"); # cd c: -> C:\Work\New
cd will not change the current drive.
chdir will.
I'm showing how to change the working dir on a drive without changing to that drive, like cd does.
