Re^2: WWW::Mechanize help

I thought I explained that. $form_comments is passed to another Perl script along with other parameters. When you use: system ("submit.pl", ...$form_comments does it not push that variable into ARGV? ?

There is no such limitation, if you do it right: `$ cat foo.pl #!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; use Data::Dumper; if (@ARGV){ print Dumper \@ARGV; } else { system $^X, $0, "a\nb"; } __END__ $ perl foo.pl $VAR1 = [ 'a b' ];` [download] You can see that the script calls a copy of itself, and both lines of `a\nb` are passed correctly to the second copy (tested on Linux). Which makes me think that you're doing something wrong.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

$ cat foo.pl
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;

if (@ARGV){
    print Dumper \@ARGV;
} else {
    system $^X, $0, "a\nb";
}
__END__
$ perl foo.pl
$VAR1 = [
          'a
b'
        ];
