XP Perl Replacement for "Send to Clipboard as Filename"

For some reason, XP powertools is missing one of my favourites - the ability to right-click on a file, and send the path and name to the clipboard.

So, I added the following to a shortcut I called "Send to Clipboard" in my SendTo folder:

C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe -e "use Win32::Clipboard;Win32::Clipboard($ARGV[0
+]);"
[download]

C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe -e "use Win32::Clipboard;Win32::Clipboard($ARGV[0
+]);"
[download]

Great! I love it! I used `wperl` instead of `perl` so the command window doesn't flash at me. `C:\Perl\bin\wperl.exe -e "use Win32::Clipboard;Win32::Clipboard($ARGV[ +0]);"` [download] Sandy	[reply] [d/l] [select]

And I love wperl - never knew about it before. Thanks! `map{$a=1-$_/10;map{$d=$a;$e=$b=$_/20-2;map{($d,$e)=(2$d$e+$a,$e2 -$d2+$b);$c=$d2+$e2>4?$d=8:_}1..50;print$c}0..59;print$/}0..20` [download] Tom Melly, pm (at) cursingmaggot (stop) co (stop) uk	[reply] [d/l]

`wperl` is particularly useful if you are writing gui apps (such as Perl/Tk). Down side, any error/warning messages disappear into aether surrounding your computer. Usually I use `perl` while coding/debugging, and `wperl` for release	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Excellent. You can even copy multiple file names by using `C:\Perl\bin\wperl.exe -MWin32::Clipboard -e Win32::Clipboard(join(qq(\ +r\n),@ARGV))` [download]	[reply] [d/l]
