So "dirname" pulls out the dir part, but how do we get "filepath" in the
first place? I want to grab it dynamically; but maybe the answer
relates to the second part ....

.... Should I use this with a subroutine definition to find the
subroutine's path? I would rather do it in the outside part of a script
file. Though this is definitely a good thing to know.
