Any examples of how to call PERL in windows scripting host

[broswell]

I have had good luck running perl programs from Linux. In Windows I seem to have to call a batch file to call the script instead of typing the script into the script manager. Has anyone conquered this?

If you have Perl installed and you see correct path to your perl interpreter in 1st line of the script (#!/usr/bin/perl), script should be started without special commands.
What exactly the problem (error message) do you see?

Unlike Linux, Perl is not installed by default on Windows. You have to install Active Perl first. After install you should call your script like this:
"D:\Perl\perl.exe script_name.pl"

Sorry, I thought you are asking about Linux.
If you are using Windows and you have installed Perl script engine, you may use csript.exe (Windows Script Host) to execute scripts.

You have to include the folder, where perl was installed, into PATH environment variable. After that you can call "perl" and type your script there or run particular perl script directly.

The script command should should look like this

cmd /c cscript //B //E:PerlScript %Script% %Params%

the second trick is that there is a funky way to get the parameters back.
The usual ARGV variables don't work

This URL http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/docs/A ... tHost.html
provided the hint.

Seems to work with $arg->{1} for argument 1 Etc

I don't use Windows Script Host with perl. I use syntax: "perl.exe scropt_name.pl list_of_params". ARGV works like a charm.

It looks like this: "my $param_name = @ARGV[0];" etc.

In this case there is in no differrence between Linux and Windows perl engine.
