I'd even nuke the shift. I replace:

sub dosomething{
    my $foo = shift;
    my $bar = shift;
[download]

with

sub dosomething{
    my ($foo, $bar) = @_;
[download]

That gets all the args and their order right up on the first line of the sub, where it's easier to see. I tend to agree with the Linux kernel CodingStyle document when it says that if you have more than 2-3 args there's probably some re-factoring in order. Cutting and pasting your function calls just seems... icky.
