Re^2: Parameters incorrect interpreted when passed to perl-standalone

"I think the "*.zip" is definitely being expanded by the operating system before the perl program is called on it."

You're correct with the problem on the compiled version. perl -w param.pl *.zip just works fine.

First of all, the description itself says: "If you just add use Win32::Autoglob; in your program, this module will alter @ARGV by performing globbing. I.e., '.txt' will be expanded to whatever .txt matches, like ('whatever.bin', 'junk.txt', 'stuff.txt', 'thing.dat') -- or if there are no .txt files, you'll just get an @ARGV of ('whatever.bin', 'thing.dat')." This behaviour is not* what I'm looking for. I tested this module and as expected, the module performed globbing before. So I had the same unwanted behaviour on perl just like I got it when running the standalone executable.	[reply]
