Re: Arguments not passed in Windows XP

I have a simple script that prints the number of passed arguments:

$numargs = scalar @ARGV;
print "numargs $numargs\n";

This script works fine on a number of our PCs but fails on two
particular PCs.

Invoking the script using 'numargs.pl 1 2 3' results in 0.
Invoking the script using 'perl numargs.pl 1 2 3' results in 3.

How can I get the first method to work properly? I am running v5.8.7
from ActiveState on Windows XP.

Start a command prompt, and enter: ftype perl
It should report something like:
perl="\path\to\perl.exe" "%1" %*

Make sure you see the %* parameter at the end
