This
#!/usr/bin/perl
open THEOUTPUT, ">e:/test/output.txt";
while ( <$ARGV[0]> ) { print THEOUTPUT};
worked with this NT command file (NTWS 4 SP5)
perl.exe e:\test\droptest.pl $1
Not sure why perl.exe wouldn't run it without an absolute path, but
such are the ways of DOSneyland.
Remember that the file association created in NT only applies to My
Computer/Explorer interfaces, and not to The Dark Windows.
