in thread Problems passing command line parameters to activestate perl on XP

Thanks for the suggestion... Ok, PATHEXT was indeed missing the .PL extension so I added it, started a new cmd prompt, confirmed .PL at the end, but it still doesnt accept args without prefaced by "perl".

EDIT: further investigation tells me that PATHEXT merely enables me to omit the .pl extension at the command line.

Any more ideas?
