try (@ARGV[0] == "-q")
                  ^^-------- this got me too- the "==" compares values
                                 while "=" assignes the right side value to
lef
                                 side variable- so @ARGV[0] is given the
value of                                 "-q" when you run your program-
since the 
                                 assignment is successful- a 'true' value
results
                                  you print "it worked\n"
 


have fun :)
