You actually cannot use pop instead of shift in the first line unless you rearrange the argument list order.

If there's no ordering dependencies between things (in this case &a and &i don't seem to depend on one being called before the others, and neither references $p) you can if you just reverse the order you pop rather than the argument order . . .

i(pop);$a=a(pop);$p=pop;...

Update: D'oh, missed the @ARGV later on. Never mind me.

    Except that @ARGV is used later on in the while() loop control statement.

    Being right, does not endow the right to be rude; politeness costs nothing.
    Being unknowing, is not the same as being stupid.
    Expressing a contrary opinion, whether to the individual or the group, is more often a sign of deeper thought than of cantankerous belligerence.
    Do not mistake your goals as the only goals; your opinion as the only opinion; your confidence as correctness. Saying you know better is not the same as explaining you know better.
