sub sum($$){...} # do you really need ($$) ? That is rarely useful.

Rarely useful, often misused, and in this case (in which prototypes are not checked at all) totally useless. E.g.:

>perl -wMstrict -le "sub sum ($$); ;; my $codes = { 'SOFT' => 'sum', 'HARD' => \&sum, }; ;; $codes->{HARD}->('HARD', 1, 2, 3, 4); ;; { no strict 'refs'; $codes->{SOFT}->('SOFT', 9, 8, 7, 6); } ;; sub sum ($$) { print qq{(@_) arguments: }, scalar @_; } " (HARD 1 2 3 4) arguments: 5 (SOFT 9 8 7 6) arguments: 5

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • 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).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
