It was a good idea, but that gives me zsh which is what in this case BBEdit uses to execute the script. So with your code of $ENV, then I looked at the variables within ENV and picked one that was there for BBEdit and not there in a normal terminal run. Know other ways, but this at least is one way to accomplish the task..
ok, i am smelling an XY problem here. why do you need to know from where the perl was executed? in general processes don't know the path of their parent process. one way around this is to pass a special value to the perl process (via argument or env) that tells the perl of its origin.

but a bigger question is, why do you need/want to know this? what difference will it make to the perl process?

thanx,
