note btrott No such thing as $ARGC, as far as I know.<p> But yes, you can use @ARGV to get the command line args. Something to be aware of is that <code> $ARGV[0] </code> is not the command name; it's the first argument.<p> Also, check out the Getopt family of modules for automatically parsing your command line args: <code> perldoc Getopt::Std perldoc Getopt::Long </code> and more. 5163 5163
