'cd' always makes me a little edgy.

Maybe something like this?

   my $os_type = Module::Build->os_type;
   my $noop = ($os_type eq 'Windows' ? 'rem' :
               $os_type eq 'VMS'     ? 'Continue' :
               'true');

That's basically what MakeMaker does.

Or do you mean 'true' isn't even available on some Unix systems?
