Re: How to find which perl was used to invoke script

Great that you solved your own problem.

Did you know you can get that page with all the special values by typing perldoc perlvar ? It's part of the standard perl documentation and available whenever perl is installed.

And if you add the line use English; to the top of your program, you can call that variable $EXECUTABLE_NAME instead of the rather esoteric $^X. But if you do use English, it's a good idea to exclude some imports for performance. I have use English qw<-no_match_vars> in my template for new perl files.
