Even simpler:
if (@ARGV) {
print "No args\n";
} else {
print "arg is $ARGV[0]\n";
}
If you're studying perl, you might want to join the very
beginner-friendly mailing list, info at
http://lists.perl.org/list/beginners.html, or start a conversation on
perlmonks.org, also relatively beginner-friendly.
And I'd recommend a couple of good books, but I might be seen as
self-pimping. :)
But if you look at http://learn.perl.org/ you'll see a number of other
resources, including free tutorials online.
