Re: @ARGV array is always empty
On your laptop with XP Pro: From the Folder Options - File types dialog: Locate and select the entry for PL file Click the "advanced" button in the details for extension .PL pane at the bottom Select the "open" action from the list, and then click the the "edit" button What do you have under "Application used to perform this action"?

Whereas, no problem on my Windows XP Home Edition desktop. ActiveState support did not know what the problem is. Here are the details: I downloaded ActivePerl-5.8.0.806-MSWin32-x86.msi and installed on a Thinkpad T23 with XP Professional(SP1). I have the same problem with ActivePerl-5.6.1.635-MSWin32-x86.msi on this machine. Both versions work as expected on my eMachines T2082 desktop. If I run this program, argvProblem.pl - #!perl printf "The number of arguments is %d\n",$#ARGV;exit; on eMachines XP HE - c:\solar\tests\argvProblem.pl 1 2 3 The number of arguments is 2 on T23 XP Pro c:\solar\tests\argvProblem.pl 1 2 3 The number of arguments is -1. If I run c:\solar\tests\perl argvProblem.pl 1 2 3 The number of arguments is 2. and it works fine!! Any ideas? From doing "perl -v", I see they are both 5.8.0, build 806. Compiled C programs can see their arguments on the XP Pro machine. The Folder Options File-Type associations seem the same on both machines. The registries appear to be the same. Perl used to work fine on the T23 but I had a disk failure, restored with the recovery CD, installed SP1, and then the problem. It also failed to work before I installed SP1. Thanks, Larry Watson

It should work. If I remember right, this %path% syntax from the command prompt doesn't work under command.com. To change the path like that you'll need to repeat the current value and include the new entry on the end: path c:\windows;c:\windows\command;c:\perl\bin If this is the answer, then you need to put 'c:\perl\bin' in your path, you probably should anyway.

Let me throw out another idea: $ = \n; print @array\n; No doubt someone will tell me how dreadful that is. :-) I also agree with the poster who asked why you chomped in the first place; is there really no way to work with the data with the newlines present? well if that's dreadful then this is at least as bad :-): $,=\n; print @array,; In any case, I've run into lots of situations where I have to chomp the input data such as file / directory names or hash keys (of course I don't know how often I print back out the same thing I'm reading?). I use the -l command line switch to get this behavior in simple one-liners from the command line but that won't help here... -- Eric Amick Columbia, MD ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs ___ Perl-Win32-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
