ok,i figured out something, now i am just more confused

Code:

$temp = <> ;

also works for input, so what does STDIN stand/used for?

[edit]back to argurment, i kindof got it but sill am confused

Code:

sub test
{
	$temp = shift(@_) ;
	print "the add is $temp";
}
	
test(23);

what does the shift() do. and why does it have to be an array?
