To answer your question with another question, have you tried it? It should not take you long to write a short perl example, use Perl2Exe (assuming you have it) to convert it to an executable and test it. Failing that check the Perl2Exe documentation. I am sure you could have found the answer by trying a short example in less time that it would take to get a response here.
Hope this helps
Update: slight rewording

Thanks for the response
Yes I have - I currently have a script that requires two input variables from the user. These are gathered using STDIN in perl world.
However I need to compile this to a Windows binary - which works, but the program runs as usual (as you would expect) where the app waits for the input on the command line.
e.g. c:\MyBinary.exe <CR>parameter1<CR>parameter2<CR>output!
I need it to accept switches as per my previous example.
I do realize this is a lame question from a Perl newbie - but I have been searching for this information for several hours without success (including the docs for perl2exe, the lama and Perl Monks - if this is not a suitable question for this board I apologise.

Okay I answered my own question eventually.
For any other new folks - it looks like the module Getopt::Std will do the trick.
