Hi Folks, Another novice PERL scripter here again.  Today's question(s):  
What is the PERL variable (constant?) which holds the filename of the 
currently executing script?  And is there one variable that holds only the 
filename, and another one that holds the filename including the full path?

So, for example, if I am in /cgi/perlscripts:  perl myfile.pl

What variable would return '/cgi/perlscripts/myfile.pl'?
And what variable would return only 'myfile.pl'?

Thanks as always!
