The command line arguments are the arguments passed to the program when you launch it by typing it at the command line, for example in a cmd terminal window:

Code

C:\Users\Laurent>perl process_files.pl file.txt file2.txt 
         ^        ^          ^             ^       ^ 
         |        |          |             |       | 
      prompt     perl   your program     arg1     arg2

I do not use Padre, but I would assume that it offers also a terminal windows allowing to do that, with hopefully a better ergonomy than the cmd program. You can also use the Windows Powershell terminal window, but is ergonomy is just as bad as the cmd. A better alternative might be the Windows bash port.
