of course once we get into checking the returns, we may find chdir does all the testing we need already ...
use strict;
use warnings;
use Cwd;
my $dir = shift;
chdir $dir or die "Couldn't chdir $dir: $!\n";
print "OK, in ". getcwd . "\n";
And the outut
# ./change.pl Downloads/
OK, in /home/Random/Downloads
# ./perl change.pl foo
Couldn't chdir foo: No such file or directory
# ./mkdir bar
# ./chmod 000 bar
# ./perl change.pl bar
Couldn't chdir bar: Permission denied
Cheers, R.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

Want more info? How to link
or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
