This is a shame.  On Unix I use to use Cwd; and $ENV{PWD} to track the current
directory.  Doesn't seem to work on NT or Windows 98.

#!perl
# Windows 98 and NT

use Cwd qw(chdir cwd);
chdir('.');

chdir('D:\Perl');
print "PWD=$ENV{PWD}\n";
print "cwd='",cwd,"'\n\n";

chdir('D:\Perl');
print "PWD=$ENV{PWD}\n";
print "cwd='",cwd,"'\n\n";

__END__

PWD=D:/users/spoulin/tmp/D:\Perl
cwd='D:/Perl'

PWD=D:/Perl/D:\Perl
cwd='D:/Perl'
