Re: Win7, ASSOCiation , and @ARGV

?? What do you get for: echo %pathext%; which -a perl; perl -V; set |grep -i perl; doskey /macros:all |grep -i perl

$ echo %pathext%
.COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.PL

$ which -a foo
D:/junk/foo.COM
D:/junk/foo.COM
D:/junk/foo.EXE
D:/junk/foo.EXE
D:/junk/foo.BAT
D:/junk/foo.BAT
D:/junk/foo.PL
D:/junk/foo.PL

MACRO execute before COM before EXE before BAT before PL

Thank you! Your response made me check %pathext% where .pl is missing: `C:>echo %pathext% .COM;.EXE;.BAT;.CMD;.VBS;.VBE;.JS;.JSE;.WSF;.WSH;.MSC` [download] Of course, with no cygin (nor GNUtils) I have no `grep` or `which` but pursuing your other suggestions I ran across (BTW, en route, a suggestion to use `setx PATHEXT=%PATHEXT%;.PL` turned out to be invalid syntax - perhaps omitted from Win7, to judge by MS's documentation^{Note 1}) a MS support page which referred me... which referred me... etc... eventually to what may be a fix but which requires a reboot... so: --more to come -- after the reboot :-( Updated, post reboot: Yech, way too much stumbling around in the dark. But START\|COMPUTER\|ADVANCED SYSTEM SETTINGS\|(System Properties\|ADVANCED (tab)\|Environmental Variables\| leads to a box where one can edit PATHEXT (to add the ".PL") ^{Note 1} for earlier versions of Win, `set ...` was documented as valid ONLY for the session in which it was executed. See also Re: Out of date over <> and 5.10 et seq where ikegami, BrowserUK, tye and Corion discuss quirks, peculiarities, ASSOC decisions by MS and AS's implementation of its use. But recognize: adding `.PL; .pl` to %PATHEXT% was NOT a silver bullet; so I have more to seek/do, but this is already waaay too long, but one can hope others, similarly troubled may find some of this useful... so, some keys: '@ARGV failure' '<>' 'Association' 'PATH' 'PATHEXT'	[reply] [d/l] [select]

a suggestion to use setx PATHEXT=%PATHEXT%;.PL turned out to be invalid synta Type help set and read that manual :) While you're at it read help assoc and help ftype	[reply]

Thank you. I thought some of my remarks above suggested that I'd failed to find an answer in any of those... Is there some particular piece that my prior remarks show that I ignored or misunderstood something?	[reply]
