<p class=MsoNormal>Indeed. In the spirit of "teach a man to fish",
it's worth mentioning<br>
that Perl mentions the "-npe" switches in its "perlrun"
documentation<br>
and the "$ARGV" variable in "perlvar".<br>
<br>
You should find this documentation installed alongside perl, although<br>
some Linux distributions like to cripple their installations and omit<br>
it. You can also find it on the Web at <a href="http://perldoc.perl.org/"
target="_blank">http://perldoc.perl.org/</a>.<br>
