Have you tried creating a shortcut to Perl and renaming it to the name of the Perl script and add the path to the perl script as an arg ? Set Properties->Shortcut->Target to something like : C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe C:\Home\Me\test.pl (adjust the arg to point to your script) And test.pl: use strict; use Win32; my $msg = ''; $msg .= "$_\n" foreach @ARGV; Win32::MsgBox($msg); # print args in MsgBox __END__ -- ,-/- __ _ _ $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 Perl-Win32-Users@listserv.ActiveState.com To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
