Two reaons: strict and the GetOptions() hash. The latter was actually what gave me the idea in the first place. The script started out having a series of {
do_this(\%options, $table), last if $action eq 'this';
do_that(\%options, $table), last if $action eq 'that';
# ...
die "Usage here\n";
}
Look a bit harder and you'll see method calls in disguise.. With this new approach, all I have to do is write sub _more {} and the script will automatically understand the "more" option - and it works with strict too. (Plus can $execute $_action looks much prettier than defined &$_action IMHO :-))

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).
