You can use the Getopt module
myscript.pl
use Getopt::Long;
use vars qw($date);
GetOptions('D=s' => \$date);
print "\n date is $date";
***************************************
$perl myscript.pl -D="12/21/00"
should print
date is 12/21/00

Grasping input parameter off the
eState.com command line . . .
12/13/00 01:09 PM
Hello,
I need to give my script a run date parameter i.e.
script_name date="13.12.2000"
I have seen how to use <STDIN> to grasp user input but this script will be
run as a batch job and therefore will need to pass the parameter in when
the
script is called.
How would I capture the date that is passed in??
Thanks in advance.
Jonathan
