I had actually wanted to write things in subprocedures, as it's the way I usually do things when programming, because it makes for more readable code, however I was then having problems with printing. I found that if I created an "artistBreak" sub and "albumBreak" sub, and then tried to print from within those subprocedures, I got errors trying to print. I was a little confused if I should open the artist page again within the subprocedure, and then seek to the end and print, or if I should somehow be able to declare an open on the global level, and then print normally.
I was also debating if it would be more "proper" to do all "print ALBUMMASTER 'blah blah'" or the way I did, doing a select, and then switching when needed.
I agree with you though, it should be cleaned up, and broken into smaller pieces.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
