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.

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.
