I decided to check out the coverage of a little program and am running into a bump. The code is part of a suite of code which uses the environment to pass options. One of those environment variables happens to be called PWD, and it doesn't hold the present working directory. (It stands for "Period, Week, Day" and since this suite is on windows, PWD had no definition in its shell beforehand.)
The problem is, when I run my script with "perl -MDevel::Cover mycode.pl", Devel::Cover seems to overwrite $ENV{PWD} with the current directory. It's easy to show- > cat > foo.pl #!/usr/bin/perl print "ENV{PWD}=$ENV{PWD}\n"; > set PWD='xyz' > foo.pl ENV{PWD}=xyz > perl -MDevel::Cover foo.pl (... Devel::Cover stuff...) ENV{PWD}=D:/home/yhluc00/bin/ (... Devel::Cover stuff...) Is there a workaround where my code can get the original $Env{PWD}? I can change the test scripts, but I don't "own" all the code in the suite that uses $ENV{PWD}.
