Why do you expect this to do anything useful?
You're assigning the contents of a hash into a single scalar.
That will almost never do anything useful.
As others noted, if you want a specific element from a hash, you have to
name it explicitly --
$currentpath = $ENV{PWD};
-- or, as another person noted, use the Cwd module to do this in a more
guaranteed to be portable way.
But in any case, assigning a (full) hash to a scalar will never work :-)
