Accessing parameters in system(@args)	Can't Post

I have ran into the problem of accessing the parameters when I call one perl script with another perl script.

Here is the code I have so far.

#test.pl
$hello = "Meow";
@args=("find.pl","$hello");
system(@args);

Now how do I access the parameter $hello inside of 'find.pl', I have tried the following:
print $_[0];
print $_[1];
print @_;
print $hello;

Please help!!

Thanks,
Andrew

@ARGV is the array that imports the arguments to a script, so $ARGV[0] is the variable you are looking for.
