Re^5: windows shortcut and args

how about

ftype PerlRemlaunch=c:\perl64\bin\perl5.16.3.exe "C:\Perl Builder2\Rem
+Launch.pl" "%1"
assoc .blt=PerlRemlaunch
[download]

or maybe

assoc .blt=c:\perl64\bin\perl5.16.3.exe C:\Perl Builder2\RemLaunch.pl 
+"%1"
[download]

I think you were expecting a level of redirection that isnt there. "C:\Perl Builder2\RemLaunch.pl" isnt an executable type (exe,com,...)

Nope... May be time to use a batch file in between the .blt and my launcher ...	[reply]

Hi, It is something that needs checking On windows an "executable type" is just another registry entry -- or %PATHEXT% entry -- its possible to break windows by removing .exe/.dll... from said list See %PATHEXT%, and chain of links about HKLM\Software\Classes\.exe HKLM\Software\Classes\exefile	[reply]

I wasnt going to remove .exe or .dll from any list, I did earlier add .PL; to the PATHEXT.. I do need to hunt the registry... problem is, I want this to be "reasonably" easy to use on different machines. I was ultimately going to try and compile the .pl to an .exe and .dll, (which probably would solve this issue.. chicken or egg kinda of thing..) I use PerlBuilder IDE to help me, steps through code nicely, allows me to to see "whats on perls mind" even if its only on the surface. I hoped to discover exactly how args were passed, then use the IDE to send the args exactly the same way for development	[reply]
