Good point on using -e in a #! line. Guess I got hung up on that. This wrapper script is put inplace by our IT department so the correct binary will be run based on the users machine. And after getting input from this group, I think we are OK. the -w can be put into the actual perl script with "use strict". All of the other "real" command line options seem to pass thru the wrapper correctly when they are actually present on a command line from STD_IN. So I did learn a little more of how the #! line works. Thanks for the feedback. Dan
