For instance, if you script is run as follows: perl ack --name foo --pkg bar -relno 1234 then @ARGV will contain "--name, foo, --pkg, bar, -relno, 1234," and you will have to parse the list for the values you need. On the other hand if the script is run: perl ack foo bar 1234 then @ARGV will be "foo, bar, 1234" You should look at the GetOpt::Short or GetOpt::Long modules which are part of the standard perl library. Try perldoc GetOpt::Long on your command line to view the module doc.
