  I don't use Terminal much, I prefer iTerm. But, for Terminal:

  #!/usr/bin/perl
  use Cwd;
  use Mac::Glue;
   
  (my $cwd = cwd()) =~ s/'/'\\''/g;
   
  my $term = new Mac::Glue 'Terminal';
  $term->do_script(with_command => "cd '$cwd'");

  For iTerm:

  my $iterm = new Mac::Glue 'iTerm';
  my $term = $iterm->make(new => 'terminal');
  $term->Launch(session => 'default');
  $term->obj(session => 1)->write(text => "cd '$cwd'");

    I found this through a search, but ended up with my own version [jeffreyharrell.com] using pbcopy / pbpaste on a one-liner.

    echo `pwd` | pbcopy; osascript -e "tell application \"Terminal\" to do script \"cd \\\"`pbpaste`\\\"\""
