That unfortunately is a somewhat cumbersome approach when you have a 
different number of arguments from time to time and if you have many 
arguments. It would be so nice if one passed argument of type list 
would go straight into @ARGV. Please consider this a request for a 
future version of MacPerl.

Please also consider implementing "return" for the main "subroutine".

Thanks.
