in thread OS independent perl script

Is %~dpn0 some bizarro shell magic then?

    Yep.

    %0 corresponds to $0, and the magic letters behind the tilde are explained (for example) here.

      Nifty! And I wish I'd known all that back when I was using Windows!

    See also  help for and Re: Command line arguments not passed in Win7 ( regqueryperl.bat ), Question on Strawberry's Portable .bat file

    @setlocal @set thisdir=%~dp0 @set thisfile=%~f0 @set thisfilebasename=%~n0 @set thisfilename=%~nx0 @set thisfilecorion=%~dpn0.pl @set thisfilepl=%thisdir%%thisfilebasename%.pl @echo thisdir=%thisdir% @echo thisfile=%thisfile% @echo thisfilebasename=%thisfilebasename% @echo thisfilename=%thisfilename% @echo thisfilecorion=%thisfilecorion% @echo thisfilepl=%thisfilepl% @echo; @endlocal

    thisdir=D:\ thisfile=D:\this2.bat thisfilebasename=this2 thisfilename=this2.bat thisfilecorion=D:\this2.pl thisfilepl=D:\this2.pl

    And the advanced broken version (for stupid paths )
    ^ is trickier than the others ... above escaping useful for example if you're  echo %stuff% >> otherfile.bat
    yes, cmd.exe is a mess

    @setlocal @set "thisdir=%~dp0" @set "thisfile=%~f0" @set "thisfilebasename=%~n0" @set "thisfilename=%~nx0" @set "thisfilecorion=%~dpn0.pl" @set "thisfilepl=%thisdir%%thisfilebasename%.pl" @echo thisdir="%thisdir% @echo thisfile="%thisfile% @echo thisfilebasename="%thisfilebasename% @echo thisfilename="%thisfilename% @echo thisfilecorion="%thisfilecorion% @echo thisfilepl="%thisfilepl% @echo; @set "thisfile=%~f0" echo %thisfile% @set "thisfile=%thisfile:^=\^%" @set "thisfile=%thisfile:>=^>%" @set "thisfile=%thisfile:<=^<%" @set "thisfile=%thisfile:&=^&%" @set "thisfile=%thisfile:|=^|%" @set "thisfile=%thisfile:)=^)%" @set "thisfile=%thisfile:(=^(%" @set "thisfile=%thisfile:[=^[%" @set "thisfile=%thisfile:]=^]%" @set "thisfile=%thisfile:"=\"%" @echo escaped-thisfile "%thisfile%" @echo; @endlocal

    $ "D:\pa^th\this2.bat" thisdir=D:\path\ thisfile=D:\path\this2.bat thisfilebasename=this2 thisfilename=this2.bat thisfilecorion=D:\path\this2.pl thisfilepl=D:\path\this2.pl
      FWIW the second output was wrong one
      $ "pa^th\this2.bat" thisdir="D:\pa^th\ thisfile="D:\pa^th\this2.bat thisfilebasename="this2 thisfilename="this2.bat thisfilecorion="D:\pa^th\this2.pl thisfilepl="D:\pa^th\this2.pl $ echo D:\path\this2.bat D:\path\this2.bat escaped-thisfile "D:\pa\^th\this2.bat"
