[PLUG] Perl question

[William A Morita]

I was translating a bash script to perl and encountered this dilemma:

In bash I can do
ScriptDir=$(cd $(dirname $0) ; pwd)

I tried doing the equivalent in perl, but the sticking point seems to be the
";" in the middle of the compound statement.

Maybe I'm overlooking something obvious here.

Some suggestions guys?
