in thread Why doesn't @ARGV work?

It has been a while since I used windows last. But can you try using Strawberry Perl on Win 8? Instead of ActiveState Perl. I had some issues using ActiveState Perl when I was using windows, but with Strawberry I was very much ok. That was on Win7

If you tell me, I'll forget.
If you show me, I'll remember.
if you involve me, I'll understand.
