Thanks for the suggestion, but Cwd doesn't work on Win32 OS, as written in the CPAN testers: http://testers.cpan.org/show/PathTools.html#PathTools-3.07 Any other ideas? Mosh.	[reply]

Well, if all you want is cwd, why don't you install the Cwd module? The current version seems to pass on all OS's (and I use it myself under Windows.)	[reply]

The latest version of the Cwd module comes in the PathTools distribution.	[reply]

Cwd is a core module, which means it comes with perl. You already have Cwd. cpan-testers results can't be taken at face value, especially a vague report like http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/204675. It looks like that reporter doesn't have a compiler, so there is no chance he could ever successfully build Cwd.	[reply]

~~That doesn't help at all. The OP does not what the current working directory is, so he can't cwd there.~~ Update: striked. Looks like I am a dumb today. holli, /regexed monk/	[reply] [d/l]

Uh? This module provides functions for determining the pathname of the current working directory. It is recommended that getcwd (or another cwd() function) be used in all code to ensure portability.* Seems a little more portable than "`./`", but I might be missing something. Update: ah, maybe I understand now. CWD stands for "Current Working Directory", the function tho change directory in Perl is `chdir`. That's what maybe misguided you. Flavio (perl -e 'print(scalar(reverse("\nti.xittelop\@oivalf")))') Don't fool yourself.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
