This question is more for the gurus. It's about etiquette and style. I realize now the benefits of following coding standards and etiquette, and of course use warnings and use strict.
My question lies in the & when calling a subroutine. Should those who are starting out use &function(); or function(); ?? I am also seeing the benefits of using prototypes when declaring my functions. No more worries of having to put the \ on the correct arguments when calling my wacky functions that take 2 refs and 3 scalars. Are prototypes recommended for easy maintenance? Or do they just get in the way and confuse others? Oh and how do you declare a subroutine with a prototype for NO arguments? Nikola Janceski The mere formulation of a problem is far more essential than its solution, which may be merely a matter of mathematical or experimental skills. To raise new questions, new possibilities, to regard old problems from a new angle requires creative imagination and marks real advances in science. -- Albert Einstein (1879-1955) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------- The views and opinions expressed in this email message are the sender's own, and do not necessarily represent the views and opinions of Summit Systems Inc. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
