1Cwd provides functions for determining the pathname of the current working
2directory. It is recommended that getcwd (or another *cwd() function) be used in
3all code to ensure portability. By default, it exports the functions cwd(),
4getcwd(), fastcwd(), and fastgetcwd() (and, on Win32, getdcwd()) into the
5caller's namespace.

7File::Spec is designed to support operations commonly performed on file
8specifications (usually called "file names", but not to be confused with the
9contents of a file, or Perl's file handles), such as concatenating several
10directory and file names into a single path, or determining whether a path is
11rooted.
