Perl reports different cwd() value

Perl reports different cwd() value

[Timothy Canham]

If you are in:

c:/temp (alternate way to address drives under cygwin)

and you perform "perl -e "use Cwd; cwd();" " you get:

/cygdrive/c/temp.

Any way to work around this?

That _is_ the POSIX path for c:/temp unless you've created a mount point for
c:/ or c:/temp/.  If you want c:/temp, you'd need to use a non-Cygwin build
of Perl; in which case this would be off topic..

Not really sure why you want to work around a standard way to express paths
but, if you need to, maybe something like this?

perl -e 'use Cwd;$path=cwd();print "[",$path,"]\n";$winpath = `cygpath -w
$path`;print "[",$winpath,"]\n";$winpath=~ tr/\\/\//;print
"[",$winpath,"]\n";'

Excuse any bad perl, I am at hello world level with it.
