Treating .pl files as executables in Windows is iffy at best. Try
perl ARGVtst.pl LHW_TST
instead of
ARGVtst.pl LHW_TST

    There's obviously something wrong with the way perl is installed on the XP system. When I tried the 'perl ARGVtst.pl LHW_TST', I got a message saying perl was not recognized. This doesn't happen on the 2000 system.

    I'll try to reinstall the perl and see if that helps.

      That just means that perl isn't in your PATH. Just add it.
