I'm trying to improve my programming style and have read perlstyle and will probably pick up the book Code Complete. I have, however, a question about organizing subroutines. What if I have a program that has all of it's logical functions broken up into subroutines and they're not passing each other data. This would work:
func1();
func2();
func3();
sub func1 {
}
sub func2{
}
sub func3{
}
Or would this be better:
func1();
sub func1{
func2();
}
sub func2{
func3();
}
I'm just not sure what's the best programming practice even if several options will work. Certainly not one big function with all global variables.
TIA...Kevin

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).
