wierd.. I have RH 7.1 with bash (perl 5.61). Here's my test

#!/usr/bin/perl -w

print " I was called as $0\n";

results as follows. tt is the original file. rr is a symlink in /usr/local/bin

[xxxx@yyy:/home/xxxx]$ tt
 I was called as ./tt
[xxxx@yyy:/home/xxxx]$ rr
 I was called as /usr/local/bin/rr
[xxxx@yyy:/home/xxxx]$

My bad... I was assuming perl's $0 and c's argv[0] were the same, which they are not... $0 does have exactly what I want, thanks...
