$0 can be used to get the name of the Bash script being invoked. For example, let's say you have a Bash script named foo.sh. Here is how you would show that foo.sh is the name of the script.

#!/usr/bin/perl
echo scriptname = $0

Or, more commonly, scriptname is stored in a constant variable.

#!/usr/bin/perl
SCRIPTNAME=$0
echo scriptname = $SCRIPTNAME

Which should return the following.

scriptname = foo.sh
