no, $0 has nothing to do with hiding command options, you can't hide those

    Not to derail the question at hand, but the following does hide the script options:

    #!/usr/bin/perl -lw $0 = q{test.pl}; qx(sleep $ARGV[0]); exit 0;

    Without $0 set:

    user 30221 27990 0 08:36 pts/51 00:00:00 /usr/bin/perl -lw ./test.p +l 10

    With $0 set:

    user 30385 27990 0 08:36 pts/51 00:00:00 test.pl

    The question remains as to how something similar can be accomplished via IPC::Run.
