me too:-) Right list, I assume.

@ARGV holds your command line arguments.
call:
scriptname.pl Universe 42 douglas 'Zappod Beblebrox'
#! /usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
print "You called me with ", scalar @ARGV, " Arguments.\n";
if (@ARGV) {
print " Param to script: $_\n" foreach (@ARGV);
}
Notice that there is a nice wa of processing command line args with the
getopt:: modules from CPAN.
Also take a look at perldoc perlvar for detailed info about @ARGV, ARGV and
$ARGV.
Hope that helps, Wolf
