@ARGV not working

[Ray]

For some reason, @argv doesn't work on my machine, but when I run the
script on a coworker's machine (which has the same NT build as I do it
works).

Example:

When I type at the command line: perl test.pl foo
I don't get any output. No error messages, nothing. When I run the
script on another machine it works as expected. Here's the code
snippet I'm using:


print @INC;
print @ARGV;


The first print statement works as expected, but the @ARGV doesn't.

Any ideas?

Thanks

It worked for me:

perl -e 'print @ARGV' 'it ' 'works'

output: it works

You are positive that you did not misspell @ARGV in your script?

It worked for me:

perl -e 'print @ARGV' 'it ' 'works'

If you are using cmd.exe, you might want to change that to:

C:\Home> perl -e"print qq{@ARGV}" it works
it works

I get the bad behaviour on Solaris (Perl 5.005) as well.

I suggest outputting a "\n" as well:

print @INC;
print @ARGV;
print "\n";

I don't know why this should behave differently on two machines of the
same kind, but maybe there are timing considerations (speculating wildly).
(So why does @INC get printed? Maybe because it's much longer than @ARGV.)

I do not get the bad behaviour on Solaris 2.8 (Perl 5.005).
print @ARGV;
works as expected
