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).

to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
