The advice given to me by an 'old' programmer to try to keep each 'function' under 50 lines so it fit on one screen. If it goes over that you can most likely split it in two items. If the main part of the script was over that then you most likely had to many subs. This of course is meant as a rough guideline. For me looking at code this way has made it very easy to break apart a program into neat parts that are often reusable with only minor tweaking. Also the whole idea of seeing the function without scrolling has made maintance easier.
