How to get command line parameters?

[Tal Raveh]

Hello



I'm writing script for sending mail, I want to get from command line all I
need for that



Ext.

Script name: sendmail.pl

I want to run:

../Sendmail.pl –F <from address> -t <to address> -m <massage> -s <subject>



I have 4 parameters:

$mailfrom

$mailto

$msg

$subject



How can I put the command line parameter in those parameters ?



Thanks

Read about the @ARGV variable in "perldoc perlvar".
