can the script find itself?

[fossildoc]

I'm running build 813 on 'doze XP/Home. I want my Perl script to
determine the directory from which it was run. This is equivalent to
retrieving the command line. For example, from a DOS window I type:

\perl\bin\perl c:\mydir\myscript.pl

I want the script to be able to retrieve the string "c:\mydir".

There is a Win32 function, Find, that can look for files, but it only
searches the INC directories, so it is not reliable.

Any ideas, please.
