FWIW (and I'm even iggeranter than you in this respect): my (32-bit) win config, which seems to be identical to yours and runs an identical version of perl (see above), gives the same response as yours to the esoteric query suggested by BrowserUK:

C:\>reg query HKLM\Software\Classes\Perl\Shell\Open\Command

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\Perl\Shell\Open\Command
    (Default)    REG_SZ    "C:\Perl\bin\perl.exe" "%1" %*
[download]

And yet, I get the expected output from your program.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
