Yes, and it is $ENV{PAR_PROGNAME}.  However, if you need the perl script,
then it is $ENV{PAR_0}.  Both should probably be documented better.

I do wonder whether it will be best if we simply assign one of the two to $0.
The reason it was not done before was (iirc) that assigning to $0 changes the
displayed program name in "ps", and (obviously) I'm not sure which of the two
should be assigned to $0.
