If you mean the Console window - yes. Of course the command prompt itself can vary on a per user basis. If the script name isn't preceded by perl or wperl, a file association would be needed to associate a .pl file with perl or a .wpl with wperl. In order for the shebang line to be used from the command line, you would need to be running a UNIX shell since none of the Windoze shells read the shebang line. -- ,-/- __ _ _ $Bill Luebkert Mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (_/ / ) // // DBE Collectibles Mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] / ) /--< o // // Castle of Medieval Myth & Magic http://www.todbe.com/ -/-' /___/_<_</_</_ http://dbecoll.tripod.com/ (My Perl/Lakers stuff) _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
