I have found the solution.

No you haven't.

use Cwd;
$dir = cwd();

"Cwd" stands for "current working directory". That is not necessarily
the same as the directory in which your script resides.

Put your script in /tmp/1, as you have it. Change to your own home
directory, and execute the script as /tmp/1/script.pl, and you will see
that your script assigns $dir to your home directory, not /tmp/1

The correct answer is to use the FindBin module, not the Cwd module:

$ cat temp/script.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Cwd;
use FindBin;
print "Cwd: ", cwd(), "\n";
print "FindBin: ", $FindBin::Bin, "\n";
__END__

$ temp/script.pl
Cwd: /home/plalli
FindBin: /home/plalli/temp
