Re: $0 and path

2002-08-04 Thread Chip Place 

Another interesting bit of information:

If I invoke the script like this

$ perl myperlscript

I don't get the leading ./ or path

does this make any sense?

 Subject: $0 and path
 
 
 When I try to use the value from $0, I get the full path to the script or a
 leading ./ depending on how the script is invoked.  If I want my log file to
 have a line similar to:
 
 # GENERATED BY myperlscript
 
 how can I do this without the extra info:
 
 # GENERATED BY ./myperlscript
 or
 # GENERATED BY /home/cplace/bin/myperlscript
 
 Thanks in advance for any help
