Use the Cwd module to confirm where you are...my guess is that you're ok.
Check this snippet out. Worked on my win2k machine. Remember that the *script* will
change directories. When it exits you'll be back where you started.

use Cwd;
use strict;
my $dir=getcwd;
print "current dir: $dir\n"; #prints c:/path/$dir
chdir("perl_crap"); # relative to where I am now.
my $newdir=getcwd;
print "Current dir: $newdir \n"; #prints c:/path/$dir/$newdir
