Re: Creating Variables Just to Pass into Subroutine?

Are any of them used later in the program? That would be the obvious case for when you would want to use a variable instead of a literal. Otherwise, I tend to agree with you. It does clutter things.

Other advice - if you will be changing these programs, you will want to explore creating tests for them.

These are pretty much used only right when calling the subroutine, the Notify subroutine typically occurs at end of the line branches of the file where there are many conditional statements to get there so I don't believe that more than one call to Notify or use of these variables is used in more than one run of the script.
