Re: How do I get the full path to the script executing?

Do it like that:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use File::Spec::Functions qw(rel2abs);
print rel2abs($0);

If you want only the directory part, use File::Basename, like this: `#!/usr/bin/perl -w use strict; use File::Spec::Functions qw(rel2abs); use File::Basename; print dirname(rel2abs($0));` [download] Using a regex here is calling for trouble.
