If you don't know how many there will be you can try something like:
printf "%-s "x scalar(@ARGV), @ARGV;
# @ARGV is what you check when seeking arguments from the commnad line
# in passing to a subroutine the @_ has the same connotation as @ARGV
Wags ;)

Subject: can't print input argument
Hello - more trouble, I just can't seem to write a program that prints an
argument it's passed:
My script contains:
#not working
print "$ARGV\n";
when I run this I get:
c:\work.pl "this"
c:\
confused by this but also confused that I can't run anything from the
command line in windows. Like
c:\perl -e "s/Bad/Good/" test.txt
or
c:\perl -e 's/Bad/Good/" test.txt
I have activePerl installed and my file attributes are fine . . .
