      my $file1=$ARGV[0];
      my $file2=$ARGV1;
      my $file3=$ARGV2;
      my @cols = (0, 2);
      so instead of 0 and 2 i want it to be user defined so how do i declare it with this method instead of Getopt::Long and other such steps

        For those 4 variables I would do this:

        my ($file1, $file2, $file3, @cols) = @ARGV;

        But I would not use $file1, $file2, $file3 as names in the first place as they aren't all that descriptive. Perhaps $patternfile, $inputfile, $outputfile might be my choices.

        What do you have against Getopt::Long?
