OK, using do is usually indicative that you should use a module with "use" or
"require" instead and call subroutines from it:

Well, your message is missing some text. In any case, regarding the need to
get the parent script name inside a child script, either you want to just load
code from modules and call that (which will avoid the script-running-script
anti-pattern), or alternatively you want to set an environment variable that
indicates which script is the caller (if you can't pass it as an argument).
