in reply to Location reference - programming style

$0 returns a relative path. Since it works in OS X, I'm inclined to think it works in BSD just fine. You might also try __FILE__. Then look into File::Path, File::Spec->rel2abs, Cwd, FindBin, and Path::Class.

This has come up here a bit so don't hesitate to Google or super search for any of that stuff for wider discussions and samples.

    Thanks. I usually find most things with a search, but sometimes the right search terms elude me. You know, you've got to know the answer before you can find it. :-)
