NAME Devel::PL_origargv - access to the Perl interpreter's argv SYNOPSIS my @PL_origargv = Devel::PL_origargv->get; DESCRIPTION If Perl is run with the following command: perl -w -Ilib yourscript.pl arg1 arg2 Then @ARGV will be pre-populated with "arg1" and "arg2", and $0 will reflect the name of your script, but there's no way to access "-w" or "-Ilib". This module provides one class method that returns Perl's original argv array as a list. "get" Returns argv as a list of strings. If called in scalar context, returns argc (i.e. the count of argv). CAVEATS This module's test suite will not pass when run via "forkprove". Use the standard "prove" instead. BUGS Please report any bugs to . SEE ALSO AUTHOR Toby Inkster .
