Oh - sorry - I should test my postings. You're not running with warnings, otherwise, you would have seen the following warning: `> perl -w tmp.pl main::egal() called too early to check prototype at ..\tmp.pl line 3.` [download] What I meant to post was this: `#my $param = 'egal("7006","7006")'; #eval print $param; sub egal () { }; egal("7006","7006");` [download] which outputs `> perl -w tmp.pl Too many arguments for main::egal at ..\tmp.pl line 7, near ""7006")" Execution of ..\tmp.pl aborted due to compilation errors.` [download] Which is what also happens in your eval but which you never output because you never check for that. See previous posts on what to do.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

At last after a long fight I figured it out. It was due to defining the egal sub which is like: `sub egal () { # .... }` [download] # Rather than: `sub egal { # .... }` [download] This was imposing argument prototypes on egal (i.e. no args). This was the reason why Perl can't find the sub when an argument is passed.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
