lets say you have a script called 'jerk.pl' and then when you run the script you type this at the command line:
jerk.pl loser hoser
$ARGV[0] would be loser
$ARGV[1] would be hoser
basically it is an array that stores the arguments you pass to the script...that is the short version

If you want multiple words on one element of the array, then you need to put them in quotes:

jerk.pl "loser loser" "hoser"
$ARGV[0] would be "loser loser"
$ARGV[1] would be "hoser"
