No, I'm not.
The problem was, as others pointed out, that the called subroutine
"get_record" uses $_ in a while loop, and that apparently while loops don't
localize $_.
This explains why after execution of the while loop, the value of $_ is set
to what it was inside the subroutine - also for the code that called it.
Thanks to all who helped solving this,
Birgit Kellner
