in reply to ARGV not getting set

You have a poorly constructed file association (e.g. one created by double-clicking an un-associated .pl file). Recreate it as by running the following two commands: 

ftype perlfile="D:\Perl\bin\perl.exe" "%1" %*
assoc .pl=perlfile

Adjust the path as needed.

    The solution proposed by ikegami is probably correct. However, I recommend against using these commands until you have read and understood their documentation. 
    help ftype
help assoc
