Issue resolved by user bulk88. Thanks!

I'm trying to run my .pl scripts in an automated environment where the scripts are started remotely. My current target is Windows7, but we need to support multiple OSs. I want to be able for the users to redirect console output to a file.

If I open a command console, I have no problems with the following syntax:

Perl script.pl arg1 arg2 > console.out

script.pl arg1 arg2 > console.out

But when I try to put the exact same lines in the run box, the redirect to file is ignored. I reviewed a couple of solutions, one of which suggested adding a -w flag after perl. I tried that and the redirect was still ignored. Any ideas on where I'm going wrong?

I currently have ActivePerl 5.16 installed on Windows7.
assoc.pl returns
.pl=Perl
ftype Perl returns
Perl="c:\perl\bin\perl.exe" "%1" %*
