Hey Guys, i was wondering if any of you's could help us with a piece of code, Design and implement a script that provides line numbered contents of a file( must include control structures,files, and command line arguments) and the second part is modify the the script to process one or more files in a given run of the script, (have to at least use one conditional statement and at least one loop together with parameter passing) thanks guys any help would be Appreciated. :D

We're not going to do your homework, but here's a clue. perl -ne 'print "$. $_"' somefile
