I use %args_in which covers the meaning nicely. Maybe %params_in would be even better.
No, parameters are expected, while arguments are passed. The hash contains arguments, never parameters.
Given foo => $bar, the parameter is "foo", and the argument is $bar, named by the name of the parameter.
In Perl 6:
sub foo ($foo, $bar) { # $foo and $bar are *parameters*
# But in the sub itself, they represent the *arguments*
...
}
foo(42, 15); # positional arguments
foo(foo => 42, bar => 15); # named arguments
foo(bar => 15, foo => 42); # same thing :)

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
