Another good one to remember is `__FILE__`.	[reply] [d/l]

$0 and __FILE__ are subtly different. $0 will only ever contain the name of the program that is running. If the program calls code in other files (modules, for example) then __FILE__ will have different values. These values are documented in the section on "Special Literals" in perldata. -- <http://dave.org.uk> "The first rule of Perl club is you do not talk about Perl club." -- Chip Salzenberg	[reply]

man perldata, which, unless you know much about the Perl internals, is an unlikely place to look. I had to use grep on the POD directory to find it.	[reply]
