Hello Monks, I'm having a problem converting an argument to string. Actually, this argument contains a URL. url = http://sampleurl.sample.com/DOCID=1234&DOCREV=1&DOCLOC=1234&DOCDIAL=~ 

my $url = $ARGV[0];

print $url;

When I print this url I'm having an error: 'DOCLOC' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. 'DOCLANG' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. 'DOCDIAL' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. But when I place the url as value of the url variable: $url = "http://sampleurl.sample.com/DOCID=1234&DOCREV=1&DOCLOC=1234&DOCDIAL=~" I do not experience the mentioned error. So I'm thinking I need to convert the Argument to string. Can you help me with this?
