Re^5: Windows 7 UAC with elevated privileges

Ah! I see what you mean. @ARGV isn't actually the OS-level arguments passed to the interpreter because there's some logic before that.

Excellent - thank you! I'll put that into the next version. I figured that simplistic handling of the command line was probably going to be a problem, but I had no idea it was that weird...

:) You might also want to warn (in the docs) to add the `use Win32::RunAsAdmin qw(force);` as soon as possible ... in case some other modules change cwd :) as PL_origargv doesn't track cwd :)	[reply] [d/l]

Hey - I just wanted to thank you again. If you hadn't forced me to understand what you were saying, I would have had no idea where to start looking when I used Win32::RunAsAdmin (without force) and Getopt::Euclid to determine based on a command-line flag whether to request elevated privileges or not.... and the command line disappeared (!) As it was, it was obvious what had happened. Anyway, v0.02 is up. Thanks.	[reply]
