I use tcsh and it has chdir built in.

1) You could try running another shell like bash or tcsh using a ->cmd()
and see if that makes any difference.
2) You could always write your own cd/chdir in Perl and upload it and
use that.
Something like this should work:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Cwd;
my $dir = getcwd;
my $newdir = shift || '';
if ($newdir) {
chdir $newdir or die "$!($^E)";
} else {
chdir or die "$!($^E)";
}
# print "$dir => $newdir\n";
__END__
