Looking for advice on how to be more "perlish" in this bit of code. The idea is to allow execution of a script without pathing in the $0 parameter:

if ($0 =~ m/^\//) {
   exec("$0 @ARGV");

} else {

   exec("./$0 @ARGV");

}

Thanks,
M@

This really feels like one of those "instead of asking how to do something, explain what you're trying to achieve" type deals. What are you actually trying to do here?
