Picking up command line arguments with Strawberry Perl: ARGV

Aaron_A has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

When I run the following programs (named args.pl) with ActiveState PERL (or under Unix):

#!/usr/bin/perl
use warnings ;
if ($#ARGV >= 0)
{for ($n=0 ; $n<=$#ARGV ; $n++)
  {print("ARGV[$n]=$ARGV[$n]\n") ; }
}
else
{print("No command line parameters found.\n") ; }
[download]

as follows:

> args.pl abc
[download]

the output is:

ARGV[0]=abc
[download]

But when I run it using StrawberryPerl 5.10.1 I get:

No command line parameters found.
[download]

Why? And what do I have to do to pick up the command line parameters?

Your file association is broken. `"C:\...\bin\perl.exe" "%1"` [download] but it should be `"C:\...\bin\perl.exe" "%1" %` [download] To fix: `>assoc .pl .pl=Perl ---- \\\\ \\\\ vvvv >ftype Perl Perl="C:\...\bin\perl.exe" "%1" -------------------------- \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\ vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv >ftype Perl="C:\...\bin\perl.exe" "%1" % Perl="C:\...\bin\perl.exe" "%1" %*` [download]	[reply] [d/l] [select]

But when I run it using StrawberryPerl 5.10.1 I get: Try `perl file.pl args` [download] then go ahead and fix your ftype/assoc (type `help assoc' in cmd.exe )	[reply] [d/l]
