um, can anyone explain the 'print' function below to me?

specifically ... this:

  'print "@F[0,5]"'

How do I use this idea in a script instead of a command line?  also,
how is the input getting into this function?  I mean, I understand $_
and all, but on a command line, are we piping to that command?  what's
with the '@F'?

Thanks for the help!
