Re: Re: Question regarding variable scope

Hmmmm....

sub find_paring()
{
  my $white_player = shift;
[download]

Looks like a conflict of interest there. Can't really shift if you aren't allowing anything to be passed. Try

sub find_paring
{
  my $white_player = shift;
[download]

I think you'll be happier.

my @a=qw(random brilliant braindead); print $a[rand(@a)];

Umm, I have to disagree with you here. The code `sub find_parsing() { ... }` [download] is equivalent to `sub find_parsing { ... }` [download] I always start my subroutines with `sub function()` (a habit from shell programming days). Strict argument prototyping is not necessary with Perl though.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
