perl on the command line..
hi..
I am new to perl and have just downloaded the whole perl man directory in html (so I am a little serious about learining how to use it.. ) the only problem is I am hardly getting anything edge wise so far.. except for some basic file scripting.. what I would like to know is how would you use perl on the command line without the use of a script file..
here's an example of something that I was trying to function on the command line to no avail.:
my @var = ("abc","efg",hij");
print $var[1];
i am not even sure if this is actually correct syntax..
having a real hard time.. any help would be appreciated

asp-perl
ASP-PERL(1p) User Contributed Perl Documentation ASP-PERL(1p)
NAME
asp-perl - Apache::ASP CGI and command line script processor
SYNOPSIS
asp-perl [-hsdb] [-f asp.conf] [-o directory] file1 @arguments file2 @arguments ...
-h Help you are getting now!
-f Specify an alternate configuration file other than ./asp.conf
-s Setup $Session and $Application state for script.
-d Set to debug code upon errors.
-b Only return body of document, no headers.
-o Output directory, writes to files there instead of STDOUT
-p GlobalPackage config, what perl package are the scripts compiled in.
DESCRIPTION
This program will run Apache::ASP scripts from the command line. Each file that is specified will be run, and the $Request->QueryString()
and $Request->Form() data will be initialized by the @arguments following the script file name.
The @arguments will be written as space separated words, and will be initialized as an associate array where %arguments = @arguments. As
an example:
asp-perl file.asp key1 value1 key2 value2
would be similar to calling the file.asp in a web environment like
/file.asp?key1=value1&key2=value2
The asp.conf script will be read from the current directory for parameters that would be set with PerlSetVar normally under mod_perl. For
more information on how to configure the asp.conf file, please see < http://www.apache-asp.org/cgi.html >
