Only if you omit the argument list as well. > > But I thought that doing &FindLink(LinkID => $id); would not pass the > current @_ which is what I want. ie I only want to pass the param > LinkID not all the other stuff that was passed to the subroutine that > called the subroutine.... True, but FindLink is expecting a class name before the list of key/value pairs. So you need: FindLink($class, LinkID => $id); or better, $class->FindLink(LinkID => $id); The latter is preferred, since it allows FindLink to be inherited by a subclass. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] <http://learn.perl.org/> <http://learn.perl.org/first-response>
