Hey monks, Got an issue that I would like help with if possible. I got this program that accepts arguments from the cl so say I typed perl mytest.pl test.html testb.html the program would do something with the arguments. The problem I have is that if I typed the arguments incorrectly say perl mytest.pl twst.html testb.html (they should both be as above) I want the program to report an error "warn" but continue and work with the correct argument. This is a snippet that I cant correctly use 
foreach  $_(@ARGV) {
    my $rename = $_;
    if (!-e $rename) {
    warn "$rename does not exist"; # previously I had this as die but 
+obviously that killed the program and did not continue with the corre
+ct argument
    for(my $i=0;$i<$rename;$i++){ # I am not really sure if this loop 
+is the right idea
#or what to put in it..
    
    }
