what can be the syntex of assigning a variable (my $path) in perl which is
taking value (for example c:\documents\script.txt) from an expternal APP.
How is your program getting passed this value? On the command-line? If
so, then you would access the value from the @ARGV array. $ARGV[0] holds
the first argument, $ARGV[1] the second, and so on.
my $path = $ARGV[0];
If it's being sent to your program via an input stream (the other program
is writing, and your Perl program needs to read), you'd get the value from
<STDIN>.
chomp(my $path = <STDIN>);
