Renaming is a good idea.
But @ARGS has one disadvantage: it's a plural form. Arrays usually
have the singular name of their contents (yes, "ARGument Vector"
manages to break that too); the plural / singular distinction is
performed by other means, which are very obvious in Perl (although
even in other languages it's more common to give the array a singular
name). For the array @el (not @els), $el[2] is a singular form,
@el[2-11] is a plural form. Saying @ARGS it a bit like saying
argumentses.
