It fails miserably:
latex2html -init_file /home/fdrake/projects/python/Python-1-5/Doc/perl/l2hinit.perl
/home/fdrake/projects/python/Python-1-5/Doc/api/api.tex

If instead I say "use POSIX", I get this:

Usage: POSIX::getcwd() at /depot/sundry/latex2html-98.1p4/Override.pm line 177
Changing the calls to getcwd() in Override.pm at line 177 & 179 to
getcwd() instead of &getcwd fixes this problem, but requires that I
change Override.pm. It also doesn't work for exactly the same reason
the version defined in Override.pm doesn't work; `pwd` doesn't seem to
acknowledge directory changes. I've described this in previous
notes.
From looking at the camel book, the version in the Cwd module should
be sufficient on all platforms and works with the existing code in
latex2html; the problem is that Override.pm overrides it. Simply
removing the definition in Override.pm makes things work. This seems
to be the most portable and simplest fix. Is there a platform for
which Cwd::getcwd() isn't a working version of getcwd()?
