I am using the name of my Perl script to call in an associated INI file with the same name. Someone ran across something today that I have not seen before. The server (Win 2003) on which the script runs has .pl files to be set with the Perl.exe as the default associated program. When I run a script, I always use the command "perl nameofscript.pl". When someone was testing a script for me today, they simply entered "nameofscript.pl". It caused a reaction that I don't understand. So I created a very simple script to experiment. Why does this give two different values, based on whether or not "perl" is used before the script?
#!/usr/local/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my $script_name = $0; print "script name is $script_name\n"; C:\Scripts>perl pathtest.pl script name is pathtest.pl C:\Scripts>pathtest.pl script name is C:\Scripts\pathtest.pl C:\Scripts> Thank you!
