I have a question about accessing a string in a shell script

in the browser & i want to call something like:
nph-myscript.cgi?affiliate=funny&do=build

I can give:

my $affil = $IN->param('affiliate');
my $do = $IN->param('do');



now i want to run this script from ssh
i cant' do perl nph-myscript.cgi?affiliate=funny&do=build
it says No such file or directory

what can I do???
