[MacPerl] arguments



I am a newcomer to MacPerl (5.0.6), application (not MPW)...
and have written a few text file conversion utilities for mypersonal use
and am pretty happy with it.
But I still have not understood several things (sorry if questions sound
irrelevant) :

1) How to pass arguments to a script, when not used from MPW (I use the
application only). I know
how to pass a filename to droplets, but how to pass more ?

2) Where could I find modules of XCMD to allow use of MacIntosh dialogs ?

3) Is there a mean to call stand-alone scripts (like droplets) from a new
script  (without using Applescript) ?
I would like to chain different independant modules, like to pipe them
together on UNIX plaforms...

Thanks for help.
