Ouch!  That's what I get for posting so late at night!  The only saving 
grace is that I did it right in the later example, namely be checking 
$#ARGV (the number of arguments in @ARGV minus one ($ARGV[0] being the 
first argument)).

basically this:

if ($#ARGV < 0)  # correct way to determine if @ARGV is unpopulated

But I see someone has spotted the actual problem with the code...
