passing argument not working...

[Romuald Favre]

Hi there,

I just installed Perl (v. 5.6.1. built for MSWin32 from ActiveState)
on a new server Windows 2000.
Amazingly the passing of arguments doesn't work !

I saved the following code in a file saved in "test.pl" :

#!/bin/perl -s

print STDOUT "NbArguments: $#ARGV\n";
print STDOUT "$ARGV[0], $ARGV[1]\n";

When I call it by "test.pl arg1 arg2", I get:
NbArguments : -1
,

I ran the same code on 2 other machines (XP and W2000): it works
normally...
I also installed another Perl version (INDIGOPERL) on this Server
W2000... and I keep getting the same weird behaviour !
Any idea ??? Does it have to do with the configuration or with
registry entries ?

Thanks for your contribution !

The problem has been solved in the meantime...

Surprisingly on this W2000 machine, I need to launch a perl script in
beginning with the command "perl" in order to have the arguments
recognized and passed further:
"perl test.pl arg1 arg2" and not just "test.pl arg1 arg2"
On the other W2000 machine that I have, it isn't necessary to begin
with the "perl" command... Strange, but it works that way!
Have a great day
