Just a minor extension of choroba's observations (and mentioning, not just BTW, that the quoting here is for the windows box which was readily at hand):

C:\>perl -E "sub doit {for my $passed(@_) { say 'passed is: '. $passed
+;}}my @input=@ARGV; for my $input (@input) {say $input;} doit(@input)
+;" "one" "two" "three"
one
two
three
passed is: one
passed is: two
passed is: three

Alternately, you could use shift inside the loop in the sub. And, nota bene, that if your CLI arguements are enclosed in a single set of (appropriate) quotes, @ARGV will have them all as a single element, in which case, you need to (for one example) split @ARGV and push its arguments into whatever array you're going to use to pass to the sub.

C:\>perl -E "sub doit {for my $passed(@_) { say 'passed is: '. $passed
+;}} my @input = @ARGV; for my $input (@input) {say $input;} doit(@inp
+ut);" "one two three"  # NOTE QUOTING VARIANCE!
one two three
passed is: one two three
