in thread How do I pipe the output of a Perl program to something else?

I don't know why I didn't do it that way before. I'm dumb (and learning!). I use @ARGV in a ton of different programs that I wrote, too.

Thanks for all the help, everyone.

EDIT: What I do is request one line of input from the user, and from that input I fetch multiple relevant files, then do operations on those files. Essentially, the number the user gives is a hint to where those files are located. I've got it right now so that if the user is IN that directory, it just catches that number from cwd. If not, he must provide the number as $ARGV[0].

It works much better this way now. Thanks for the help.
