Need Help??

I concur with Juerd. Sometimes i will obfuscate, but only if it is for me and me only.

How many times have you been bitten with this:

sub foo {
   my $foo = shift;
}

# and then you decide to add another parameter:
sub foo {
   my ($foo,$bar) = shift;
}

I find it better to always use @_ to prevent those annoying mistakes:

sub foo {
   my ($foo) = @_;
}

my $something = shift;

my ($something, $else) = @_;

What I don't like is refering to @_ directly, as in $_[0]. I do it sometimes, but by no means do I like it.
