in reply to defining variable values on the commandline

want to define the value of a var on the commandline is this possible ?
It certainly is. See the -s option in the perlrun manpage. Here's a brief example 
shell> cat > dash_s_switch.pl
print "\$foo is $foo\n";
^D
shell> perl -s dash_s_switch.pl -foo="a string"
$foo is a string
