I used this and here's result for IIS.

Remember script was called with http://localhost/swish/swish.cgi
and is actually c:\home\mydir\swish\swish.cgi

But on IIS getcwd returns  c:\home\mydir
which is Path to website root http://localhost

Then I did a further test:
    my $DEFAULT_CONFIG_FILE = '.swishcgi.conf';
does not find my settings, but then I copied for testing reason
.swishcgi.conf to directory c:\home\mydir and my settings are found.

I could suggest the following:

On both, Apache and IIS  (don't know for PWS or other) there is server
variable called PATH_TRANSLATED set as full file system path to called cgi
script, thus in my case it is set
PATH_TRANSLATED = c:\home\mydir\swish\swish.cgi
when calling http://localhost/swish/swish.cgi

If you cut away script name "swish.cgi" at the end you could concatenate (in
my case) 'c:\home\mydir\swish\' with '.swishcgi.conf' and this configuration
was found on Apache and IIS in same directory as swish.cgi is.
