What shell are you using? Std Dos Commmand or something else? Within definition or assignment of pl to perl, it should look something like:
File types should have Open: D:\Perl\bin\Perl.exe "%1" %* Under one build of ActiveState, there were a number of problems in this area concerning file type setups. W/o the setup above, @ARGV ( Std way under w2k to params/arguments) from the command line will not work. Wags ;) -----Original Message----- From: Rich Rochelle [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 08, 2002 18:04 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: command line args in Windows 2000 Hi, I have no idea how much traffic is on this list, and I have searched all day for an answer to this question. How do I pass command line arguments to Perl under Windows 2000? I have the following code snippet: &GetOptions("size=s"); print "\nsize is $opt_size\n"; exit; $opt_size never appears to get assigned to anything. I have also tried to use the @ARGV array, with no luck. I have been using Perl on Unix for years, and this is my first (and maybe last) attempt at using Perl on Windows 2000.
