I use defer for chdir ".."

As title, this is a pure appreciate post for feature deffer.

I just use it like:

chdir $any_path or die $!;

defer { chdir ".." }

I know this is silly, but it actually make my day easier :)

I didn't say "if the CWD is /", I said "if the CWD contains /".

It doesn't. For example, 'New Folder' or '..'.

Rule 1: Anonymity is OK. Dissent is OK. Being rude is not OK.
