in reply to PAR, commandline args, WinXP

Which version of PAR do you have? The problem is most likely with your code (i tested with "Perl Packager, version 0.05 (PAR version 0.76)", had no problems).

update: here's a thought, your env PATHEXT variable wouldn't happen to have .pl in there? You could be running the .pl version when you think you're running the .exe version ... name your executable something else (read `perldoc perlwin32', `ftype /?', `assoc /?').

MJD says "you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!"
I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

    Running PAR 0.75. Don't have a PATHEXT in my enviroment. .pl mapped to Optiperl. I don't think the .pl version is running; it would chatter to STDOUT. As should the .exe version.

    Still stumped, still appreciative of any addntl ideas...
