how to find script directory

[lucas]

I run a perl app from different dirctories, and when i do a print `pwd`; it
shows the directory where I invoked the program. Problem is, I need to
read a file from the directory where the perl program is stored. Is there
a way to get the fully qualified location of the perl script? I've searched
through the system varibles, but found nothing.

thx

Thanks for both your reply's. And I appologize for posting this twice. I
thought this one didn't go through.
