RE: Backup and Incremental Backup Perl Scripts

You're mixing up bash syntax with perl.

If you're using bash, you can do this:

#!/usr/bin/bash

#Note, no leading '$'
var1=$1;
var2=$2;

echo $var1
echo $var2

If you're using perl, it uses a different syntax for retrieving cmd line
parameters:

#!/usr/bin/perl

$var1 = $ARGV[0]
$var2 = $ARGV[1]

print "$var1\n$var2\n";
