Using the following code, I cannot duplicate your problem. I am also running ActiveState 5.6.1 build 629.
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use constant PROJECT => $ARGV[0];
use constant ARCHIVE => $ARGV[1];
print "PROJECT value = " . PROJECT. "\n";
print "ARCHIVE value = " . ARCHIVE. "\n\n";
if (ARCHIVE eq "")
{
warn( "No archive file was supplied.\n");
exit 1201;
}
print "Still running\n";
This consistantly gives the warning:
No archive file was supplied. and then exits.
I tried to reproduce your example accurately. Is there something I left out of my code that might account for your strange behaviour?
