ARGV in Perl represents the command-line arguments.


   



#  <ARGV> represents opening each file that is listed by name on the command line. 

#  @ARGV is a Perl array that contains each of the command-line arguments as a separate array element.



#!/usr/bin/perl -w



# Lists command-line arguments.



# Get first argument.

$arg = shift(@ARGV);



# Loop while there is an argument.

while (defined $arg) {

    print "$arg\n";

    

    # Get next argument.

    $arg = shift(@ARGV);

}
