Odd, as I do not see the 8.3 name in either case....
======here are the two runs=============
H:\study\perl\tests>perl "this is a simple test.pl"
$0 is "this is a simple test.pl"
H:\study\perl\tests> "this is a simple test.pl"
$0 is "H:\study\perl\tests\this is a simple test.pl"
========================================
It was well noted that the second case was fully qualified though.

This is weird. If I run it as C:\>programname, I get
fullpath\8.3programname, But if I run as C:\> perl programname it get
complete programname with no path information. Why is it so?

You might want to look at how you are invoking Perl. Are you associating it
with a extension like .pl? Are you starting it from a shortcut?
When I run a simple test:
C:\> cat "this is a simple test.pl"
print qq{\$0 is "$0"};
C:\> perl "this is a simple test.pl"
$0 is this is a simple test.pl
C:\>
it seems to work fine. I am running AS Perl build 618 on WinNT 4.0.
