Is there a way to pass command line arguments to a Perl program you are running from the Padre menu ("Run->Run Script")?

Under Tools->Preferences->"Language - Perl5", set "Script arguments" and save.

Or under Tools->Preferences->Advanced, see "run_script_args_default". Set a value, and save.

Either way they do the same thing. You can also use the "Interpreter Arguments" field to set flags for the Perl interpreter.

  • Great. Any idea how to set the script execution directory (i.e., if my args are relative paths, I want to be able to tell Padre "where" the script was invoked, which is not necessarily at its save directory)? – ysap Mar 20 '19 at 22:21
