SPUG: Win32, use Cwd, and $ENV{PWD}

[Jamie Shaffer]

What's the difference between using Cwd to get the getCwd() function
and using Win32?  My scripts need to run on several platforms,
so I 'use Cwd;' and make all of my code the same. I don't have Win32.pm
installed so I can't run a test...could somebody tell me what difference
I would see?  Thanks!
