PERL: X-ecute script w/ options on cmd line

[Blaqb0x]

Hi,

I have this perl script that will parse info from a couple of files.

I could use $filenames = <STDIN>

to ask for the files when it runs but Id like to be able to possibly follow the script by the name fo the files like in bash scripts for example

$> perl parsingscript.pl filename1 filename2 another_value

Is this possible or is it easier to do it w/ a bash script?

thanx,

You can use @ARGV to pass information into the script ....

#!/usr/bin/perl

my $filenumber = scalar(@ARGV);
print "You asked me to open $filenumber files";

#!/usr/bin/perl

my $filenumber = scalar(@ARGV);
print "You asked me to open $filenumber files";

#!/usr/bin/perl

print "And those files are named: ";
foreach(@ARGV) {
  print "$_ ";
}
print "\n";
