It's only needed on miniperl for bootstrapping *nix systems. It's the fallback to use if there isn't platform specific code. Ignoring os2 and dos, we have: VMS => _vms_cwd MSWin32 => _NT_cwd qnx => _qnx_cwd cygwin => cwd amigaos => _backtick_pwd Internals::getcwd is an unconditional 10 line wrapper around getcwd_sv() A correct builtin getcwd would need to duplicate all the platform specific logic from Cwd.pm into C. This seems like a lot of work to basically stand still. Nicholas ClarkThread Previous | Thread Next
