Ok. Thanks, for you input people :)
Also, why have you used the 'shift' keyword for?
Thanks

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";
