Re^6: strawberry win10 no ARGV

I have near zero recent experience with REGEDIT. I don't find any subkeys. Is there a trick? In ".pl" folder there is one entry: Name= Default Type= REG_SZ Data= pl_auto_file

First you associate the extension to a type and then the type to executable(s). Look inside the "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\pl_auto_file". And while you are at it, see whether you have a HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Perl key. Maybe just the mapping from the extension to the type was broken, 'cause "ext_auto_file" is something you end up with if you doubleclick an unknown extension and select a program to run it with.
