Yes, or perhaps even having it just come from stdin.
Onetime I was working on a program that various things at
an elevated privledge for a web application.  I set it up to
take its arguments via standard input.  In this particular case I 
choose to format the input simular to CGI-BIN parameters, mainly 
because that was where my head was, but the main point is I could 
easily start up the program in perl with a write pipe, and pass the 
parameters without them showing up in the process table....james
