How do I know the location of current perl binary?

llancet has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I am making a glue perl script, inside that several other perl scripts are called. In some cases, end users may run the glue script using some perl interpreter other than the "default" one in /usr/bin/perl, so it would better to call child scripts using the user-wanted interpreter:

# in my glue script
# got the location of current interpreter
my $curr_perl;

system($curr_perl,'ugly_script.pl',@lots_of_args)==0 or die "Ouch!!";
system($curr_perl,'another_script.pl',@ugly_args)==0 or die "Oops!!";

I believe there must be a perl variable containing what I want, so what is it?
Thanks a lot!!!
