Hello

My script entries need some arguments whose number and place are well-defined and need some arguments whose number is variable

For example, here is the beginning of my code. I am not sure it is correct. 

print STDOUT "enter the name of the beacon\n";
my $beacon = $ARGV[0];
print STDOUT "enter the value of the begin_time\n";
my $begin_time = $ARGV[1];
print STDOUT "enter the value of the end_time\n";
my $end_time = $ARGV[2];
print STDOUT "enter the days\n";
my  @DAYS = @ARGV;

Won't @ARGV overwrite the first $ARGV ? @ARGV can contain several days, but their number varies

Thanks a lot

In reply to @ARGV: two different types of arguments by steph_bow
