Web-browser style history for the command line

Code: Here’s something I came up with recently — it’s actually an evolution of the idea of pushd and popd, as included in BASH. To quote the POD docs:

cdhistory is a perl script used to implement web-browser style “history” for UNIX shells; as you use the cd command to explore the filesystem, your moves are remembered, and you can go “back” through history, and “forward” again, as you like.
