Looking at the command-line thing more closely, something like this should
work...
C:\> perl -e "while(<>){s/good/bad/;print}" test.txt
but again, I don't use the command-line all that much.

Subject: can't print input argument
Hello - more trouble, I just can't seem to write a program that prints an
argument it's passed:
My script contains:
#not working
print "$ARGV\n";
when I run this I get:
c:\work.pl "this"
c:\
confused by this but also confused that I can't run anything from the
command line in windows. Like
c:\perl -e "s/Bad/Good/" test.txt
or
c:\perl -e 's/Bad/Good/" test.txt
I have activePerl installed and my file attributes are fine . . .
