Description:  more sensible way to change directories
 Perl's chdir() has the unfortunate problem of being very, very, very 
 global. If any part of your program calls chdir() or if any library you 
 use calls chdir(), it changes the current working directory for the 
 whole program. 
 .
 This sucks.
 .
 File::chdir gives you an alternative, $CWD and @CWD. These two variables 
 combine all the power of chdir(), File::Spec and Cwd.
