While $0 is used to neat effect its associated perl5 MAGIC is not used, and I quoth from the source 
# Turn off special $0 magic

*0 = \ my $zero;

After that $0 will loose it's magical behaviour e.g 
shell> perl -MDevel::Peek -
Dump $0;
*0 = \ my $zero;
Dump $0;

Although leaving $0 scrubbing out could certainly lead to some interesting debugging facilities in conjunction with top ;)
