I think he needs to pass the variables he intends to use in his script
on the script command line (as ARGV's). Of course, he will need to be
careful if any of these variables require "protection" or if any of
them are pointers, arrays, hashes, etc. But if he is passing "simple"
variables without white space or other special Bash characters, it
should be easy to pass the parameters on the command line.
