Passing parameters to a script

[KRF]

Pardon the probably simple question, but in trying to find the answer in
my books, I have found far more about the subject than I can understand.

How to pass a parameter (value? variable?) to a Perl script when you call
it? I have managed to call a script from Kylix3 (once I downloaded a
zillion bytes of patches and finally got them installed) and the calls
work and return fine, but I don't know how to make the script accept a
passed parameter.

Or as another possibly simpler question, how to start a Perl script from
the command line and give it a parameter(s)? Lots of info in my books
about passing to and from subs, but so far nothing about how to pass to
the main script itself. Or, more probably, I haven't recognised the way
to do it yet.

Thanks

Never mind. Enough whacking away on the examples finally got it. Don't
understand it but it works.
