# By Brandon S. Allbery

# This library is no longer being maintained, and is included for backward
# compatibility with Perl 4 programs which may require it.
#
# In particular, this should not be used as an example of modern Perl
# programming techniques.
#
# Suggested alternative: Cwd
#
#
# Usage: $cwd = &getcwd;
