Dear Athanasius,

Thank you for going through my comments and providing feedback. I am quite happy that I was not completely wrong about all lines.

However some questions remain:

Why was the subroutine called with 6 passed as an argument. Was this just for demonstrating that not only strings but also numbers can be passed to a sub?.

Could you please clarify why only the first argument $ra is passed an the others remain in the array? Does that mean that arguments to a sub are passed in some kind of for loop?

my( $ra ) = @_;
    # variable for the argument(s) passed to the sub, @_ accepts every
+ argument passed to sub, i.e. the files passed to main

Looking forward to your feedback. Will work on the inital code and try to use more subroutines.

Thanks a mil for your support

Kind regards

C.
