Thanks all for the input. What I've done to work around this is create
a bash function and then source it from the command line. I know this
has nothing to do with Perl but to close this thread out for the
archives in case someone has the same question -
A very simplified version of what I'm doing:
In mycd.sh
mycd() { cd $1; }
$ . mycd.sh
$ mycd /directory
