I assume you meant to say: perl myscript.pl and so on. I think what you are looking for is getopt::long http://perldoc.perl.org/Getopt/Long.html Also if you just want to use this for input and output file then standard file redirection would be the way to go: perl myscript.pl < MyInputfileName > MyOutputFileName HTH -- MattJ -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
