Thank you, Stewart.  It works.  From the CPAN documentation [1], under  
subhead "$ENV{PWD}", I read that

"If you ask to override your chdir() built-in function,
use Cwd qw(chdir);
then your PWD environment variable will be kept up to date. Note that  
it will only be kept up to date if all packages which use chdir import  
it from Cwd."

Sheesh.  "What will they think of next??"  I am going to our little  
greenhouse to plant some more lettuce seeds now.
