Hi Folks,
I need to know the full path to the running script ( $0 provides the name of
the file)
is there a way to get the full path.
for example:
I run the script "/root/eng/perlscripts/xyz.pl"
$0 = xyz.pl
I need a way to know "/root/eng/perlscripts/xyz.pl"

Thanks

try running the script by specifying the full path when you call it.

perldoc -q path

How do I add the directory my program lives in to the module/library
search path?
