Change your line of
print footer;

to this
print &footer;

And the warning will go away.

    Better yet, change it to print footer(); unless you know exactly why you would use &footer instead.

    Thanks, your suggestion caused me to search for string 'footer' in the code. Actually there is a sub called "page_footer", but no sub called "footer". Then more digging thru the code, and the sub where "print footer" is, the call to it, has been commented out.

    It's a huge Perl script, written by someone else, so I'm still learning. :)

    Thanks,

      The best idea is to add use strict; to the top and fix everything it complains about.
