You can use it but it's sort of pointless. Unless you're embedding cd in
the command, it's equivalent to just debian/siege/usr/bin/siege2csv.pl and
so forth. It's only really useful if you need to make the path absolute
for some reason, normally because you're changing the working directory or
doing something else complicated in the command.
