Indeed.  In the spirit of "teach a man to fish", it's worth mentioning
that Perl mentions the "-npe" switches in its "perlrun" documentation
and the "$ARGV" variable in "perlvar".

You should find this documentation installed alongside perl, although
some Linux distributions like to cripple their installations and omit
it.  You can also find it on the Web at http://perldoc.perl.org/.
