| Summary : Get pathname of current working directory
|
Description :
PathTools merges Cwd and File::Spec into a single distribution. This was done because the two modules use each other fairly extensively, and extracting the common stuff into another distribution was deemed nigh-impossible.
Cwd provides functions for determining the pathname of the current working directory. It is recommended that getcwd (or another *cwd() function) be used in _all_ code to ensure portability.
File::Spec is designed to support operations commonly performed on file specifications (usually called \"file names\", but not to be confused with the contents of a file, or Perl\'s file handles), such as concatenating several directory and file names into a single path, or determining whether a path is rooted.
