Perl Script full path

[timtrust123]

Hi
I am trying to get the full path of where the perl script is being run.
For example, I am running a script called test.pl from the folder
C:\Program Files\Perl_test\

By printing $0 in the script the folloing is displayed
c:\Program~1\Perl_t~1\test.pl

Any ideas on how i can get the full path displayed and not the 8.3 version ?

All help & suggestions appreciated.

When I tested that, I got the long path returned. I'm using ActivePerl 5.8.

I can't see how it makes much of a difference tbh, however $0 should return the full path, it worked for me on windows XP if I remember. I'm on linux at the moment so I can't test it... sorry about that...

Tell me why you need the full path and I will see what I can do to help in context
