Ok, I am having some problems with this.

I have created a simple perl (.pl) file that is to take the command-line parameters and print them to the screen. Now my perl file I have created is as follows...

#! perl (using Windows)

$var1=$1;
$var2=$2;

print $var1."\n".$var2;

And the command-line call that calls this script is as follows...

>perl c:\test_incremental.pl "param1" "param2"

Now it compiles ok, but all I get is blank output to the command prompt when I run the script, and not

param1
param2

Hope someone can see where I am going wrong or missing something out.

Thanks
