You get output from your die statement? So, the script dies with the error "cannot change on line ..."? If that's the case, that's an error; include $! in your die and that'll tell you why the chdir failed. Also, that's the second time you've used -ww, so I'm thinking it isn't a typo. Only one -w is necessary. > > What do you see when you print $dir4? > > the previous directory ie: not changed Ok, this would imply the die is never being called, i.e. chdir never fails. So, let's clear this up; does your die ever get called?
