perl: what is the variable holding the executing script file name

Hi Folks, Another novice PERL scripter here again. Today's question(s):
What is the PERL variable (constant?) which holds the filename of the
currently executing script? And is there one variable that holds only the
filename, and another one that holds the filename including the full path?

So, for example, if I am in /cgi/perlscripts: perl myfile.pl

What variable would return '/cgi/perlscripts/myfile.pl'?
And what variable would return only 'myfile.pl'?

Thanks as always!
