<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">I want to do regression testing using CTest after building through cmake. My test area (c:/test/T1 T2 T3…) and build area (c:/build) have these locations. </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial;">My test requires to 'cd' to test area T1, and then execute perl commands. I do these steps:</span></p>

<br>You could create a small wrapper perl script that executes the chdir() for you based on where the wrapper script is located on the filesystem and then calls the actual test.<br><br>I don't see a test property that allows you to configure the working directory. You could also propose this be added in a feature request and/or submit a patch. It might not be very useful to WIN32 developers but I'm sure others might like the option.<br>
