Hello Monks:

I have users that wish to use a script that can determine it's own location after they have copied the original script to some location of their choice. I'm assuming they want to report the location of the script to some form of output. The users are being vague about this.

Is there a function or script technique to affect this result? I've looked around on nntp.perl.org, cpan & google and nothing stands out as to what I am looking for.

Any guidance / help would be appreciated. Thank you everyone.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


No such thing as a small change
