How does this differ from $*EXECUTABLE_NAME?
Good question. Anyone?
I would assume $*PROGRAM_NAME is the script, and $*EXECUTABLE_NAME is the
name of the interpreter. Or the same as $*PROGRAM_NAME if it has been
compiled to native code? Not sure this is useful, which suggests you don't
so much want $*EXECUTABLE_NAME as $?PERL6_IMPLEMENTATION (see my earlier
message).
I discovered where to answer this. Both $EXECUTABLE_NAME and
$PROGRAM_NAME are documented in perl 5's perlvar page. See that documentation
for more information.
