Re: Has anyone seen perl losing arguments?

in reply to Has anyone seen perl losing arguments?

Your file association is broken. Specifically, the "%*" is missing in your association.

>assoc .pl
.pl=Perl

>ftype Perl
Perl="C:\...\bin\perl.exe" "%1" %*

Either fix the association using ftype, or don't rely on the extension.

system("perl 2_CleanXMLfiles.pl \"$now_string\"");

No, the file association is OK. Files with a pl extension are associated with perl. Execution of my driver scripts relies on that.

What does one have to do with the other?

What's the output of

>assoc .pl
.pl=Perl

        v
