It could be that there is a POSIX issue with fastcwd() on your machine.
Does your machine support getcwd(3)? and is it the POSIX version?
It could be that the "dangerous" portion of the description below is in play
here and that fastcwd() is trying to muck around with chdir(). You could
easily dismiss that, but you don't know how many levels of eval{} or eval()
exist between you and the message you see. So can you be sure if you are
seeing the error as it happened?

% corelist Cwd
Cwd was first released with perl 5
Cwd::fastcwd has also existed for a long time and I see no indication in
the docs that it may not be available on some platforms.
But the error message is "Usage: Cwd::fastcwd()" so I guess that the
function is available but called incorrectly (probably with a parameter
although it doesn't expect one).
