Ovid is just using @_ directly. If the arguments are passed to the sub via local or my variables, it doesn't matter what they're called. The important thing is to use prototypes for the sort function. With that in mind, I think I'd still avoid local, and either use @_ directly or lexical/my variables.	[reply]
