take out 1 character from a variable

[eric wang]

Hi people,

I am trying to take this optional parameter into my perl script.
I use a hypen (-) to indicate that it's a parameter. However, how do i get
rid of that hyphen? so for example:
myexe -hello -world -1 when entered into my script it becomes

just ARGV[0] = hello
ARG[1]=world
ARG[2]=1

?
help

Thanks
Eric
