actually several.

a) @ARGV is the array of things passed in from the commandline

so you might start small with something simple like - forgive
my unixisms -

        #!/usr/bin/perl -w
        use strict;

        my $count=0;

        for my $arg (@ARGV) {
                print "We have \$arg set to $arg as $count in the ARGV\n";
                $count++;
        }

b) perldoc Getopt::Std

c) perldoc Getopt::Long

some basic demonstration types can be found also at:

Don't PANIC that this looks a bit weird - since I have
code that creates code that we run - it's simpler for
me to do that....
