Active PERL: How to take a parameter?

[Guest_imported]

I set perl.exe as my command line intrepreter for all files with .pl extension. Therefore:
c:\> namgor.pl
[works fine]..however

c:\> namgor.pl param1 param2
[doest take in parameters]

Any ideas how to fix it? This is Windows2000

Hi there,

I pick up command line parameters like this:


-- snip --
$param1 = shift or die "First Parameter not found\n";
$param2 = shift or die "Second Parameter not found\n";
-- snip --

is this what isn't working for you?

You can also pick up command line parameters from the @ARGV array.
