I've used a symlinking approach allowing the real script to see how it was called, using a dispatch table.. perhaps this will work for your purposes:

Create a script for example /usr/sbin/myscript.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my $ME = $0 ; $ME =~ s@^\.\/|\/.*\/@@g; $ME =~ /myscript.pl/ and die ("\n Please dont call me directly!\n\n"); my %workerscripts = ( 'worker01' => \&worker01, 'worker02' => \&worker02, 'worker03' => \&worker03 ); my $real_command = $workerscripts{&findME}; &$real_command; #--- sub findME { while ( my($k,$v) = each %workerscripts ) { return $k if $k =~ /$ME/ ; }; }; sub worker01 { print "worker01 was called\n"; exit 0; }; sub worker02 { print "worker02 was called\n"; exit 0; }; sub worker03 { print "worker03 was called\n"; exit 0; };


Then create links to that script:
cd /usr/bin/ ln -s /usr/sbin/myscript.pl worker01 ln -s /usr/sbin/myscript.pl worker02 ln -s /usr/sbin/myscript.pl worker03
Invoke /usr/bin/worker01, worker02, or worker03 and the proper subroutine should be called..

Does that get you closer?
