Definetly not. $0 is the path of the script as it was called. Including a
possible directory added by the os while searching through the searchpath.
But '/' and '\' can be a bit mangled.
Running 'test.pl' located in 'e:\scripts' in the local dir 'c:\temp' will
have $0 set to 'e:/scripts\test.pl' if 'e:\scripts' is in the search path.
If you fully qualify 'e:\scripts\test.pl' in the call, $0 will be
'e:\scripts\test.pl'.
Only if you call it from e:\bin it will be just 'test.pl'.
