but I am not sure if $^X is identical to $Config{perlpath} or not. Why not? perlvar has a couple of pages explaining what $^X means, the dangers of relying on $^X... Config is the docs you want :) osname, perlpath Basically, $^X is the name of the actual exe, wherever it lives, whatever it has been renamed to (notperl.exe) except on VMS. perlvar warns about $^X not containing .exe suffix on VMS ... easier to document than fix VMS bugs I guess (weak sauce) I use $^X all the time, I've never seen VMS :)
