Just a one liner to copy the full pathname of the running Perl script, or
otherwise '-e' into $*PROGRAM_NAME. (The * twigil does not appear in the
patch).

Chris Dolan (http://rt.perl.org/rt3/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=63228) also
set out to do the same, but then a spec change froze his work.

The patch works on r37407 (2009-03-14). The test suite currently has no
facility for automated testing of command line processing :-(

Thanks, applied as git 6d97951. Not sure what it should do in -e, but
will leave that for particle who will be doing a larger review of
command line things anyway.
