Now I know about @ARGV but is there a way I can pull another set of parameters on the command line to a different array? Is there an @ARGV2 ??

What other set of parameters would that be? There is only one set of parameters, and those are determined before the program is started. Once started, there is no way of adding "new" parameters. I guess you have a misconception of some kind, but I don't know what it is.
