=head1 NAME

Cwd - get pathname of current working directory

=head1 SYNOPSIS

    use Cwd;
    my $dir = getcwd;

    use Cwd 'abs_path';
    my $abs_path = abs_path($file);

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This module provides functions for determining the pathname of the
current working directory.  It is recommended that getcwd (or another
*cwd() function) be used in I<all> code to ensure portability.

By default, it exports the functions cwd(), getcwd(), fastcwd(), and
fastgetcwd() into the caller's namespace.  


=head2 getcwd and friends

Each of these functions are called without arguments and return the
absolute path of the current working directory.

=over 4

=item getcwd

    my $cwd = getcwd();

Returns the current working directory.

Re-implements the getcwd(3) (or getwd(3)) functions in Perl.

=item cwd

    my $cwd = cwd();

The cwd() is the most natural form for the current architecture. For
most systems it is identical to `pwd` (but without the trailing line
terminator).

Unfortunately, cwd() tends to break if called under taint mode.

=item fastcwd

    my $cwd = fastcwd();

A more dangerous version of getcwd(), but potentially faster.

It might conceivably chdir() you out of a directory that it can't
chdir() you back into.  If fastcwd encounters a problem it will return
undef but will probably leave you in a different directory.  For a
measure of extra security, if everything appears to have worked, the
fastcwd() function will check that it leaves you in the same directory
that it started in. If it has changed it will C<die> with the message
"Unstable directory path, current directory changed
unexpectedly". That should never happen.

=item fastgetcwd

  my $cwd = fastgetcwd();

The fastgetcwd() function is provided as a synonym for cwd().

=back


=head2 abs_path and friends

These functions are exported only on request.  They each take a single
argument and return the absolute pathname for it.

=over 4

=item abs_path

  my $abs_path = abs_path($file);

Uses the same algorithm as getcwd().  Symbolic links and relative-path
components ("." and "..") are resolved to return the canonical
pathname, just like realpath(3).

=item realpath

  my $abs_path = realpath($file);

A synonym for abs_path().

=item fast_abs_path

  my $abs_path = abs_path($file);

A more dangerous, but potentially faster version of abs_path.

=back

=head2 $ENV{PWD}

If you ask to override your chdir() built-in function, 

  use Cwd qw(chdir);

then your PWD environment variable will be kept up to date.  Note that
it will only be kept up to date if all packages which use chdir import
it from Cwd.


=head1 NOTES

=over 4

=item *

Since the path seperators are different on some operating systems ('/'
on Unix, ':' on MacPerl, etc...) we recommend you use the File::Spec
modules wherever portability is a concern.

=item *

Actually, on Mac OS, the C<getcwd()>, C<fastgetcwd()> and C<fastcwd()>
functions  are all aliases for the C<cwd()> function, which, on Mac OS,
calls `pwd`. Likewise, the C<abs_path()> function is an alias for
C<fast_abs_path()>.
