To me, the spirit of Perl has been "if that's what you want to do, here you go". I'd rather take on the burden of handling things if they blow up for things like this if it's a choice between that and not even getting to try it.
Um, well, if it were possible to really build a nicer interface on top of chdir, then I'd prefer that. Keeps some more mistakes out of application programmer code. In the case of chdir/indir, I don't think it's possible to outsmart the platform quirks, or second-guess the programmer's intentions.
So I come to the same conclusion but for a different set of reasons :-)
