So, we've covered the nice, general, modular way to do it, but no one so far
has mentioned the quick and dirty way.

If you want to specify a file name for purposes of reading from that file,
you don't need to even look at @ARGV.  The file(s) specified on the command
line will be become the default filehandle for the <> operator, so just
doing something like:

while (<>) {
 }

Will read from whatever file(s) you specified on the command line.
