I want to write a perl script like "gnu less".

My perl script accepts input on STDIN or filename(s) as arguments. 
If both are missing it should print the error message. How do I do this
? 
The pseudocode will be 

----------
IF     INPUT ON STDIN  ;then
   Process STDIN

ELSE IF ARGUMENT(S) is a file ;then
   Process content of file(s)

ELSE 
    Show usage / help message

END IF 
------------


Any ideas how this can be done in perl ? 

Thanks
Ram
