Win32 Perl has always had GetModulePathName()
At least my cursory grep didn't find that function in the perl source
Sorry, my transcription error (s/Path/File/):
perllib.c:171: GetModuleFileName(NULL, szModuleName, sizeof(szModul
+eName));
win32.c:135: GetModuleFileName((HMODULE)((w32_perldll_handle == INV
+ALID_HANDLE_VALUE)
win32.c:136: ? GetModuleHandle(NULL)
It looks like it's just getting the name from whatever the compiler sets up as argv[0].
No, Win32 Perl has never figured out $^X based on argv[0] (except before it was released). The function called is os2_execname(aTHX) (yes, Win32 is consider OS/2-ish).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
