Hi, Perl would not do anything with command-line arguments unless you tell it otherwise. Check if you are using the EXPR form of eval to modify the argument list. perl -MData::Dumper -le 'print Dumper \...@argv' @this @should @work __Output__ $VAR1 = [ '@this', '@should', '@work' ]; Regards, Alan Haggai Alavi. -- The difference makes the difference. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: beginners-unsubscr...@perl.org For additional commands, e-mail: beginners-h...@perl.org http://learn.perl.org/
