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?
