Re: [Perl-unix-users] Command line arguments?

[Merijn van den Kroonenberg]

have a look at the use Getopt::Long; module, it handles this pretty nicely.   example:   use Getopt::Long;   &GetOptions("source=s" => \$sourcedir,"help" => \$help);   if($help){   print "commandline parameters:\n";   print "  -help           : this help\n";   print "  -source <dir>   : source dir\n";    exit; }   then you casn call your script with: scriptname.pl -source /some/path ----- Original Message ----- From: THOMAS,ANN (Non-HP-Singapore,ex1) To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2002 11:44 AM Subject: [Perl-unix-users] Command line arguments? Thankyou for all of your suggestions regarding copying a file. One more question : Is it possible to pass command line arguments while executing a perl program? In other words, can I pass a number as argument along with calling the program, instead of asking the user to input the number at the user prompt.
