Is there a way in the MS-DOS version of perl to

    1. chdir to another drive?  If I do
            chdir("d:/stuff") || die "Couldn't chdir: $!";
       I get no error, but neither does the chdir take effect.
       If the line instead is
            chdir("/stuff") || die "Couldn't chdir: $!";
       (note no "d:"), then the chdir takes effect, but on the
       current disk, of course.

    2. get the effect of cbreak?  I need to get and react to single
       character input without requiring a <return> be entered.


       thanks,

            andy
