How to capture parameterts passed asychronously to a script

srinikar has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I need to write a script(let's say "123.pl") which can install itself as a ".exe" on Windows and as a process on Unix. Other multiple custom scripts make a call to this script 123.pl with various parameters and arguments aysnchronously/adhoc basis. I then need to write further code inside this script 123.pl which will process these parameters and arguments. My question is, how can my script capture these arguments and process them, since my script will be called adhoc / asynchronously? Also, if there are two or three calls from other custom scripts simultaneously, there need to be as many instances of my script running and processing these parameters. Many thanks in advance.

The variable you're looking for is @ARGV. See also perlvar	[reply]

If you want a single "server" process to minimize startup costs, consider looking at PPerl. It mostly works under Unix, Windows support is likely spotty. Your list of requirements is confusing, so maybe you can help us by telling us what kind of problem you are trying to solve.	[reply]

Hi, Have you thought of a library of sub-routines that you can 'use' from all these other programs? Then it's just a matter of passing values/references to and from sub-routines. Which I'm sure you already know how to do. J.C.	[reply]
