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?

That's what I get too. Perl has to do something on it own to translate the
script name to $0. When you invoke through the association I think it would
just take argv[0] from the command line, which is probably set up by the
shell

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:

Hi All,
Some time back there was discussion about issues regarding filename
in 8.3 format. Unfortunately I couldn't find those mails.
I am using $0 to display program name on winNT. The program name is
displayed in 8.3 format. How can I get long filename?
Thanks
