there is no reason why my following suggestions should help (ie i have 
read the manual and your command line should work as it is). then, on 
the other hand, i have several programs written for The Great Win32 
Computer Language Shootout
(http://dada.perl.it/shootout/) tha run fine on my machine (solaris) but 
refuse to work under windows. so there might be some magic going on, 
hence these suggestions :-)

1
try the flag -noinput

2
put the flag -s (and its arguments) last on the command line
