I believe it is SCRIPT_NAME.  That's what I get in all my web servers.

You can also use something like this, where the executing script is in the
current directory:

#!perl -w
use File::Basename;
use File::Spec::Functions;  # included with perl5.004_05, works with MacPerl
use Cwd;

my $script = catfile(cwd(), basename($0));
