in thread Can't pass parameters in Win32 Perl Scripts

One idea I have is, that possibly the filetype isn't set up correctly by whatever installs the association:

Q:\>ftype perl perl="C:\Programme\perl\bin\perl.exe" "%1" %* Q:\>type tmp.pl #!/usr/bin/perl -l print for @ARGV; Q:\>tmp.pl 1 2 3 4 5 1 2 3 4 5

So on this machine, with this setup, it works. If the association is set up wrongly (which I can't check as I don't have access to a non-working machine at the moment), for example by double-clicking a .pl file and then choosing perl.exe, then likely the execution from the command line doesn't work either:

Hypothetical:\>ftype perl perl="C:\Programme\perl\bin\perl.exe" "%1"

    That's my problem, too. When I had access years ago, i was not knowlegdable enough to check the stuff out.

    I remember one other forum case, where it seemed that the ftype/assoc was set correct, though parameter passing was ascrew. Thus my question for a report of an actuall working repair.
