thanks for reply itkamaraj

so far i have tried this, but i dont think it is right!!

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

REVERSE_LIST = reverse (@ARGV);

print "command line argument in reverse: $REVERSE_LIST" . "\n";

You need to define "REVERSE_LIST" as an array with a "@" symbol.

Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

@REVERSE_LIST = reverse (@ARGV);

print "command line argument in reverse: @REVERSE_LIST" . "\n";
