You could "sorta" modularize your sendmail.pl. Wrap the main logic of that script into a function (say, sendmail_main()), and add a line like this at the top of that function: 

my @ARGV = @_;

Then, in your calling script, you can: 

require 'sendmail.pl';
sendmail_main(@args);

[download]

Inside of Sendmail, you can use caller to discover the name of the calling file.

I highly suggest, however, that you fully modularize your script; you could always use create a new sendmail.pl that did something like: 

use Sendmail;
Sendmail::send_mail(@ARGV);

[download]

if you still need to call the script separately.
