\nToday, my finding is that, with the command-line program call\n<\/p>\n
perl f1.pl Hello!<\/p>\n
Hello! is the zeroth command line argument ($ARGV[0]). I wouldn’t have thought so, yet it seems to be true.<\/p>\n
In C, though, the command-line program call<\/p>\n
.\/f1 Hello!<\/p>\n
considers Hello! as the argv[1] (which is what I’d expect).<\/p>\n
How Perl and C differ in this way I find very surprising, and barely believe it. However, my experience today suggests it’s true.<\/p>\n
