Workaround: type test.txt | perl filter.pl More likely a bug (or feature?) of the command shell. It works using the cygwin shell, as long as you put the appropriate line at the start of your script, e.g. "#!c:/perl/bin/perl". Another work around is to turn your script into a batch file. See the provided script pl2bat for help with that. HTH -- Brian Raven Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail. This e-mail may contain confidential and/or privileged information.
