[PLUG] Perl & command line arguments

[Fred Davis]

I need to write a simple file processing/reporting utlity. Normally, I
would use a combination of awk and sed glued together through some shell
scripts, but from what I've read about Perl, I think it would provide a
more efficient solution.

I have one question: Is it possible to get a Perl script to recognize
command line arguments (like $1, $2 in a shell script)? Or would I have to
add this functionality through a shell script that would call the Perl
script?
