Can you pass a reference to ARGV and get it to work on that?
use Carp;
my_main(\@ARGV);
sub my_main
{
my $first = shift @{$_[0]};
carp "Rubbish\n";
exit;
}
That gets rid of the error, but I don't know how much of an impact that will have on the rest of your code.
Otherwise, why don't you just say:
my_main() unless caller();
@ARGV is, after all, a global, you don't have to pass it as a parameter. If you want to munge it non-destructively, localise it with local @ARGV = @ARGV.

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).
