use or instead of && like :
if (($ARGV[0] eq "") or ($ARGV[1] eq "") or ($ARGV[2] eq "")) {
print "You must give me 3 parameters\n";
exit
}
It works for me.

if ( @ARGV != 3 ) {
print "You must give me 3 parameters\n";
exit 1;
}

unless ( @ARGV == 3 ) {
print "You must give me 3 parameters\n";
exit 1;
}
