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.
