Looking for a equivalant function in Perl for main(int argc, char *argv[ ])

| Hi,
In C programming language we have a function which looks like this:
main(int argc, char *argv[ ]).
Is there a equivalant function in Perl. I was looking at @ARGV but i feel it
does not behave the same way as the above function does. I might be wrong.
Thanks in advance
Shilpa

@ARGV does handle command line arguments for Perl, if that's what you
are getting at. It's a full Perl array, so you can easily get the
count, if needed:
my $argc = @ARGV;
Hope that helps.
