I'm working on porting some code that I created on Unix to ActivePerl on Windows 2000. I'm testing out the chunks that I need and in the process have run into a problem of sorts. I'm attempting to access @ARGV and the test program keeps coming back that the @ARGV array is empty.

use warnings;
my @rray=(1,2,3,4,5);
print "\@ARGV is @ARGV\n";
print "\@rray is @rray\n";

__END__

C:\temp\Perl>test2.pl 1 2 3 4 5
@ARGV is
@rray is 1 2 3 4 5

C:\temp\Perl>

Does anyone have any thoughts as to where the problem might be? The version of Perl that we have is 5.6.0 build 613. Thanks.
