   Well, I don't know about modifying the argument vector in Perl
(and I'd rather not find out how it behaves across various
circumstances), but:

     #!/usr/bin/perl -w
     
     my @arguments;                  # pseudo argument vector.
     
     push @arguments, @ARGV; 
     
     # if no file list is specified, read from the standard input
     push @arguments, "/dev/stdin" if !defined($arguments[0]);
     
     while (defined($arguments[0])) {
             system("ls -l " . $arguments[0]);
             shift @arguments;
     }
