I read (ok, skimmed...) the results from perldoc -m cwd. I don't understand cwd (current working directory). My questions apply to this general scenario:
In practice, I'd like to work with my .pl or .plx files in say, /myhome/bin/ Suppose I want to do some looping on some files in /data/path/files, or even on NT \\hostname\d$\inetpub\wwwroot\virtualdir Would use Cwd; even be necessary? What are some scenarios you've used Cwd.pm in the past? Why? If all files to be looped over are in, say, /data/path/files is it used to declare in pseudocode: <<define working directory as /data/path/files >> The docs note: It is recommended that cwd (or another *cwd() function) is used in all code to ensure portability.
