Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi Peeps

I want to pass data to a script from the command line, so that i can use the data witin that script. Somethign like:
script.pl username=bob password=bob realname=bob jones
And then within the script.pl script i can use those valuse as $username, $password and $realname.
