$ARGV[0] and $ARGV[1] are not file handles. They are elements of
commandline argument array @ARGV. ARGV is a special file handle that
holds the current file being read by an empty <> operator. $ARGV is
another special variable that holds the name of the file currently being
read by an empty <> operator.
