Description

pwd.cgi is a simple Perl script that prints out the current working directory when run.

There are a lot of web hosts out there that don't give you shell access. (There really is no valid reason to not give you shell access - but a lot of hosts are paranoid.) This script is useful when you're working on a server that doesn't provide you with shell access.

When you don't have shell access, you can use this script to determine the path your CGI scripts will run in on a server.
