I don't know what Perl documentation you've read, but Perl subroutines don't look like that. You don't "declare parameters". errornos($line, 1, \*NEW); # ... sub errornos { my ($machine, $errorno, $fh) = @_; print $fh "error $errorno $machine\n"; } Where did you pick up your current idea about Perl's subroutines? -- Jeff "japhy" Pinyan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~japhy/ RPI Acacia brother #734 http://www.perlmonks.org/ http://www.cpan.org/ <stu> what does y/// stand for? <tenderpuss> why, yansliterate of course.
