Well, depending on what you want to do with the arguments, you might want
to use the Exporter module to handle exporting functions, variables, etc.
perldoc perlmod (look for "Perl Modules")
perldoc Exporter
When you say
use Module qw( args go here );
this is translated into
BEGIN {
require Module;
Module->import(qw( args go here ));
}
Thus, you need an 'import' method in Module::.
package Module;
sub import {
my $class = shift;
print "You gave me (@_)\n";
}
It's up to you to do something with @_.
