I know I'm getting this out of context, and I'm not sure what values of 
"won't work" this was supposed to be for, but I just wanted to make 
sure that people knew that using $0 in perl -e'...' _will_ work, for 
certain values of work.  It just most likely won't give you what you 
were looking for.  (It actually gives you '-e'.  Now try having a 
logger that uses a modified value of $0, and watch the fun begin.  
Because a file called '-e' shows up first in a directory listing (using 
ls), it gets taken as an argument, and does nice things to the output.  
Fairly confusing until you figure out what is going on...)

Now back to your regularly scheduled Perl Fun.
