in reply to Win7 doesn't fill @ARGV

It's been a long time since I've been on a winboxen, so please pardon me.
But is Perl (perl.exe) within your $PATH, or %PATH, or whatever it is Win uses these days?

For example, does simply typing perl -V, produce anything || what you'd expect?

Sorry, just a bit of a guess.

#!/usr/bin/perl -Tw
use Perl::Always or die;
my $perl_version = (5.12.5);
print $perl_version;

    Downvoted. Here's why:

    1. The OP says that his scripts aren't receiving arguments via @ARGV...

      How would he know that if he was unable to run the script?

    2. It is not necessary to have perl.exe in your path in order to be able to run perl scripts on windows.

      The assoc/ftype mechanism takes care of locating perl when the name of a perl script is typed at a command prompt; or .pl file is double clicked in the explorer.

    3. You say: "It's been a long time since I've been on a winboxen, so please pardon me." and then go on to give a (wrong) guess as an answer.

      Do not feel obliged to give answers on subjects you have no relevant knowledge of. There are others who will know.
