I'm having problems with a very simple perl script that works fine on PERL5, but 
doesn't work with ActivePerl - - it's got something to do with ARGV and the '=' symbol.

On my website, when people link to an outside souce I use a perl script that is passed 
a URL as a variable, like so:

leaving.pl?http://www.somesite.com 

The script displays a notice that the user is leaving our site, then refreshes with a 
meta tag and URL=$ARGV[0] and takes them to the site.  

The problem occurs the URL contains an '=' symbol, like so:

leaving.pl?http://www.somesite.com?variable=1234

I can't pull "http://www.somesite.com?variable=1234"; pass on the command line with 
ActivePerl using $ARGV[0] - - what do I need to do to fix this?

Thanks in advance.
