Could you clarify something for me:
Is this supposed to represent a subroutine or
a script?
If that's the former, then you definately don't
want to use @ARGV. You'd want:
sub function {
foreach my $arg (@_) {
print "Got argument: $arg\n";
}
}
If it's the latter, then remember:
@ARGV is a special variable holding filenames to
be processed. When you do:
while (<ARGV>) {
}
you are really iterating over these files in
sequence and you can't do them out of sequence.
Perl has abilities to treat files as arrays, but
remember that the index is reset for every file...
your script doesn't do that.
Again, if you want the arguments and not the
information within those files use:
foreach (@ARGV) {
}
I hope this helps, otherwise please provide the
clarification I need.
Take care,
Jonathan Paton
