How to start some file as Perl script argument?


What does "start some file" mean when you say it?

You cannot "start" an Excel file because it is not executable.


How to start it as
perlscript.pl someexcel.xls


You run this command line:

perlscript.pl someexcel.xls


If you instead meant that you want to run an external program, such
as Excel, then you should have asked how to run an external program.

The answer given in this FAQ:

perldoc -q external

outlines the three basic ways of running external commands.
