Paul, try modifying the "PATHEXT" environment variable to include .pl. (add
a semicolon, followed by .pl)
To temporarily set it you can enter this at a command prompt:
set PATHEXT=%PATHEXT%;.PL
To set it permanently go into the control panel and the system applet.
When you do this you don't even have to enter the .pl extension, just "test"
is enough to run your script, and the parameters are properly passed.
gerry
