Hi Bill,
I'm a little unclear here. What do you see as calling for the ampersand & in the
function calls above. Most list veterans have been trying to steer newbies away
from it. Have you tried the calls above without?
Joseph
sub print_if_Warn;
sub print_if_Fatal;
That way you can call them without the & later.
IMHO it makes C programmers out of Perl programmers.
(And it is MORE lines - but I won't argue with progress :)
