running a script and passing a parameter

[sloppyhack]

We have a db stored procedure calling a Perl process and passing a parameter...the script is to take the parameter...process it..and return a parameter to the database. I'm not sure how to accept and pass back. It should be just as you would run a script and pass a parameter via the command line. Example...

C:\>script.pl (parameter)

How do you run a script and pass a paramenter in the same command? That should solve our problem.

Cheers,

Nevermind. It's the "shift" function. "Shift" reads the parameter and passes it to the variable. Done.

@ARGV is the array you're shifting just for future reference
