I've never seen a subroutine with 61 arguments in well designed or maintainable code.

Either some of those arguments are logically related, and therefore really a single argument with attributes, or this is going to be a very difficult subroutine to develop, test, and maintain.

61 arguments. I can think of 60 arguments why not to do that. {grin}
