Running perl script from command line

[Abhishek Srivastava]

Hello All,

I am using active state perl on windows xp. I keep all my perl scripts
in a directory called "c:\myapps\perl\" I have put this directory into
my system PATH.

now to run these scripts I want to go to the console and say

myscript.pl a b c [here a b c are the parameters to the script]

I have also assosiated *.pl extension with c:\perl\bin\perl.exe (using
windows explorer file->folder options)

When I run my script something strange happens, the script is run but
none of the command line parameters are passed to it.

Why are the command line params not being passed to my script?

I am sure someone would have tried this out if you use perl on a
windows machine.

Thanks a lot for your help.

regards,
Abhishek.

Its easiest to let the install program create the file association...

In the HTML documentation that comes with AS:

ActivePerl FAQ->Windows Specific->Windows NT/2000 and Windows 9x, the
'How do I associate Perl scripts with perl?' section.

Code would be helpful

*How* are you parsing the command line options in your script?

First of all AS Perl comes with extensive documentation that covers
*also* these issues. But how can you tell that cmd line params are not
passed to the script? What does

perl -le "print for @ARGV" <args>

yield? And if you put this code in a file, say myprog.pl, what does

myprog.pl <args>

yield?
