Cwd::chdir() is a wrapper around the real chdir(). So its not necessarily chdir() itself that's busted, just the special wrapper. chdir() is tested well before ext/Cwd/t/cwd.t so its likely to be working ok and its a problem with Cwd in your environment. Could you send the full information about your environment? The contents of config.sh would do it. Also, can you tell us what partition types are mounted on your system and if any of them are read-only? -- Michael G Schwern [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~schwern Just call me 'Moron Sugar'. http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp05182002.shtml
