A few things you might like to try:

1) Start your script with #!/usr/bin/perl (or wherever perl lives on your
system). Then you won't need the 'perl' to begin the command line.

2) Put perlscript in a directory in your unix path. Then the command
'perlscript parameter1 parameter2' will run from anywhere.

3) $ARGV[0] = parameter1, $ARGV[1] = parameter2, etc.

Cheers
