Hi Edd,
If you look at 'perldoc perlrun' it gives you a bucket load of info on
how to run perl scripts from the command line.
If you look at 'perldoc perlvar' it gives out another bucketload of
info on the internal variables used inside perl - including $0 which
holds the name of the script being run and @ARGV which is an array
containing the arguments (parameters) specified on the command line.
Also, there are modules (such as getopt) for parsing the arguments for
you. Try 'perldoc GetOpt::Long' and 'perldoc GetOpt::Std' .
