thanks for the help :) okay, another related question:

($self, $keyword, $keyword2, $keyword3, $keyword4, $keyword5, $keyword
+6, $domain) = (@_);

That's how I'm getting a series of values into a module, which seems to be working...however, when I parse those with this:

$sub1 = $keyword;
$sub2 = $keyword2;
$sub3 = $keyword3;
$sub4 = $keyword4;
$sub5 = $keyword5;
$sub6 = $keyword6;

$noun1 = &makeNlink($sub1, $domain);
$noun2 = &makeNlink($sub2, $domain);
$noun3 = &makeNlink($sub3, $domain);
$noun4 = &makeNlink($sub4, $domain);
$noun5 = &makeNlink($sub5, $domain);
$noun6 = &makeNlink($sub6, $domain);

and then this is the sub &makeNlink

sub makeNlink {

        #($tobelink, $tobelinkurl) = @_;
        $tobelink = shift(@_);
        $tobelinkurl = shift(@_);
        $withspaces = $tobelink;
        $tobelink =~ s/\s/_/g;
        chomp($withspaces);
        chomp($tobelink);
        $totallyscrewed = "<a href \= \"http\:\/\/$domain\/$tobelink\"
+>$withspaces<\/a>";
        return $totallyscrewed;
        }

The values are used over and over, the same series each time, when in the main script they are totally different. How do I make sure the current value of each variable is imported into this module? Thanks very, very much for the help! This place rocks.
