Re^2: How to Find the Script that Called it

The reason is that there are about 10 scripts that is calling the main script. So, if I try to pass an argument, then it means I have to change the 10 scripts on how it is calling the main script.

I certainly can do that but it means I have to test the 10 scripts...

You can set an environment variable in the one parent script that you're looking for. E.g. `$ENV{RUNNING_FROM_FOO}=1;` in foo.pl, then in bar.pl test `if ($ENV{RUNNING_FROM_FOO}) { ... }`. Update: I see the Joost already suggested an environment variable, but you seem to have missed it (as did I). So it's probably worth saying again anyway :-)	[reply] [d/l] [select]
