Check out the File::Basename module that comes standard.  You can use it to
get just the filename.

Subject: $0 and path


When I try to use the value from $0, I get the full path to the script or a
leading ./ depending on how the script is invoked.  If I want my log file to
have a line similar to:

# GENERATED BY myperlscript

how can I do this without the extra info:

# GENERATED BY ./myperlscript
or
# GENERATED BY /home/cplace/bin/myperlscript

Thanks in advance for any help
